couchdb pull request: Fix the `proxy_authentication_handler` name

GitHub user stevebest opened a pull request:

    Fix the `proxy_authentication_handler` name

    I'm sorry, but the docs say `authentication`, not `authentification`.[1] If you do what the docs say, you simply break your Couch: it starts responding with HTTP 500 to every request that is not authenticated by an earlier handler.
    
    According to the Urban Dictionary, "authentification" is "authentication process which is not working".[1] You can't argue with the UD on that! :)
    
    Some people using this handler might actually use the wrong spelling in their configs, so I left the original name as an alias.
