ipx-web drops the header TRUSTED_HEADER names from anyone but the tunnel (#323)

ipx trusts [web] trusted_header from Caddy's address, and Caddy
stripped only the two Cf-Access-* names from requests not from
TUNNEL_PEER. With trusted_header set to anything else (X-Remote-User
for another proxy), a request through ipx-web carried it to ipx as
Caddy's and was believed: anyone could sign in as anyone.

TRUSTED_HEADER, defaulting to Cloudflare's name, is stripped the same
way. Production uses Cloudflare's header and sets nothing, so it
behaves as before. caddy adapt shows the delete list with and without.
