Add support for proxy-awareness headers: X-Forwarded-For, X-Forwarded-Port, X-Forwarded-Proto, X-Forwarded-Host, and X-Request-ID

Browse source 
- Updated HAProxy configuration template to set all standard proxy headers for HTTP requests.
- Added support for a unique request ID via `unique-id-format` and `unique-id-header` directives.
- Implemented E2E tests for header validation, request correlation, and configuration correctness.
- Enhanced documentation to explain usage and examples of proxy headers.
- Updated CI workflows to include E2E tests for proxy headers.

# Other configurations
## Proxy Headers
EasyHAProxy automatically sets standard proxy-awareness headers for all HTTP requests:
| Header | Description | Example Value |
|--------|-------------|---------------|
| X-Forwarded-For | Client IP address | `203.0.113.50` |
| X-Forwarded-Port | Port HAProxy received request on | `443` |
| X-Forwarded-Proto | Protocol (http or https) | `https` |
| X-Forwarded-Host | Original Host header from client | `example.com` |
| X-Request-ID | Unique request identifier (UUID) | `550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000` |
These headers help backend applications:
- Determine the original client IP
- Detect HTTPS vs HTTP
- Generate correct URLs with proper hostname
- Correlate requests for debugging and monitoring
**Note:** Headers are only added in HTTP mode, not TCP mode.
## Exposing Ports
Some ports on the EasyHAProxy container and in the firewall are required to be open. However, you don't need to expose the other container ports because EasyHAProxy will handle that.

E2E tests for proxy-awareness headers
These tests verify that EasyHAProxy correctly sets all standard proxy headers:

- X-Forwarded-Port: Port HAProxy received request on
- X-Forwarded-Proto: Protocol (http or https)
- X-Forwarded-Host: Original Host header from client
- X-Request-ID: Unique request identifier (UUID)
Additionally, tests verify HAProxy logs contain the unique-id for request correlation.
