API Key authentication for AspNet Core

Authentication handler for Asp Net Core to support Api Key authentication. Api key can be supplied as URL parameter or http header.

Usage:

1. Implement IApiKeyAuthenticationClaimsResolver. It will be responsible for generation Claims based on ApiKey value. Multiple resolvers can be registered. If at least single claim returned from resolver - authentication will be successful.
2. Enable ApiKey Authentication like this: services.AddAuthentication(ApiKeyAuthenticationOptions.SchemeName).AddApiKey<ApiKeyResolver>(); or like this services.AddAuthentication(ApiKeyAuthenticationOptions.SchemeName).AddApiKey(opts => config.Bind("ApiKeyConfig", opts));

The default URL parameter name is api-key, http header name - X-Api-Key but ApiKeyAuthenticationOptions allow to change those.
