Description

Add web3_auth module for blockchain-based authentication

This PR introduces a new authentication module that provides blockchain-powered
digest authentication via Oasis Sapphire smart contracts while maintaining full
compatibility with standard Kamailio auth module functions.

Key Features:

Blockchain-based digest authentication via Oasis Sapphire smart contracts
RFC2617 compliant MD5 and SHA-256 digest authentication
Full compatibility with standard auth functions (www_authenticate, proxy_authenticate)
Configurable parameters: web3_rpc_url, web3_contract_address, web3_debug_mode, web3_timeout
Comprehensive error handling for network failures and blockchain connectivity
Nonce management and replay protection identical to traditional auth

Files Added:

src/modules/web3_auth/ (complete module with 9 .c files and supporting headers)
Comprehensive documentation in doc/ subfolder
CMakeLists.txt with curl dependency handling

Testing Summary:

Build Verification: Module compiles successfully with curl dependency
Load Testing: Module loads without errors in Kamailio configuration
Authentication Scenarios:
- Valid credentials: Successful authentication with correct blockchain credentials
- Invalid credentials: Proper rejection of wrong passwords (tested with Zoiper)
- Network failures: Graceful handling of blockchain RPC connectivity issues
- Parameter validation: All module parameters properly validated
Compatibility Testing: Full compatibility with existing auth module functions
Error Handling: Comprehensive error logging and fallback behavior

Documentation Status:

Complete XML documentation in doc/ subfolder
Module parameters documented (web3_auth_params.xml)
Functions documented (web3_auth_functions.xml)
Configuration examples provided
Usage patterns and best practices included

Limitations:

Requires external blockchain RPC endpoint (Oasis Sapphire)
Network dependency for authentication (no offline fallback)
Requires curl library for HTTP requests to blockchain
Smart contract must be deployed on target blockchain network
Authentication speed depends on blockchain network response time

Build System:

Added to MOD_LIST_UTILS group for proper curl dependency handling
Includes CMakeLists.txt with find_package(CURL REQUIRED)

This module provides a drop-in replacement for traditional authentication while
leveraging blockchain technology for credential verification.
