Support 'redirect' in /api/verify endpoint to support Traefik

Traefik handles auth forwarding but does not manage redirections like Nginx.
Therefore, Authelia must redirect the user and Traefik will forward this
request.

To support both Nginx and Traefik, /api/verify is now configurable with the
'redirect' get parameter. If the verification fails and 'redirect' is not
provided the response will be a 401 error as before.
If the parameter is provided and set to any URL, the response will be a
redirection (302) to this URL.

 **Authelia** is a complete HTTP 2-factor authentication server for proxies like
-nginx. It has been made to work with nginx [auth_request] module and is currently 
+Nginx or Traefik. It has been designed to be proxy agnostic so that you can 
-used in production to secure internal services in a small docker swarm cluster.
