web actions cannot respond to options if guarded by authentication annotation

I opened an issue yesterday to describe this defect [1]: A webaction with a
require-whisk-auth annotation will fail all preflight checks. This is
because the action authorization is checked before the router enters the
options handling.

I have opened a pull request to address the defect:
https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/issues/4879. This patch fixes the bug
by refactoring the handler so that it is possible to respond to OPTIONS
first, before proceeding with authentication checks.
