Log the authenticated user name, if available, on writes #5

An admin wants to be able to trace which webuser did a certain change.

Technical idea: Log which user is authenticated from the backend. hug passes a falcon.request.Request to the function as request. And request.env has the WSGI variables that should contain REMOTE_USER and AUTH_TYPE.

(We currently recommend access restrictions with simple methods like .htaccess.)
