Title: One line description
Does Envoy have basic HTTP authentication? Maybe similar to NGINX's authentication: https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/security-controls/configuring-http-basic-authentication/

Description:

I'm looking for a credentials prompt before a user can access a webpage.

[optional Relevant Links:]

Any extra documentation required to understand the issue.

There's currently no built-in Basic Auth filter, but this could be accomplished either by:

1. using this Lua snippet (courtesy of @dio) from Set basic authentication to the endpoint #8175
2. using External Authorization to do a look-aside request to an auth service which implements basic auth

Otherwise I think it'd be a feature request
