Add Support for Per-Query-User-Information / Impersonation

[FabianScheidt]

One of the awesome features in Trino is that the session user can be different from the authenticated user. This allows the authenticated user to impersonate other users.

This PR adds a settings that allows to impersonate the current Grafana user, so we can use the same connection and dashboards for users with different permissions (similar to what we can do with Apache Superset). If enabled, the current user login will be passed as X-Trino-User.

Hope you find this useful and consider merging. I'm happy to make changes if needed.

Fixes #251

I'll test this manually, merge this and do a new release somewhere over the weekend.

Oh, if you need a test setup, here's mine: It's the Example HTTP Connector with File-based access control. If you build a dashboard for the numbers table, admin should be able to see all contents. If you impersonate alice, she should only see even numbers.

example-http.properties

connector.name=example-http
metadata-uri=https://trino-http-example.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/example-metadata.json

access-control.properties

access-control.name=file
security.config-file=/etc/trino/rules.json

rules.json

{
  "tables": [
    {
      "user": "alice",
      "catalog": "example-http",
      "schema": "example",
      "table": "numbers",
      "privileges": ["SELECT"],
      "filter": "value % 2 = 0"
    },
    {
      "user": "alice",
      "privileges": ["SELECT"]
    },
    {
      "user": "admin",
      "privileges": ["SELECT"]
    }
  ],
  "impersonation": [
    {
      "original_role": "admin",
      "new_user": ".*",
      "allow": true
    }
  ]
}
