Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Prometheus HTTP endpoint today is unauthenticated. Some attributes may contain sensitive data, hence having the ability to customize access to it would solve that.

Describe the solution you'd like
Ability to customize the HttpContext created for metrics handler, using a functional interface (Consumer<HttpContext>) given in the builder of ProtheusHttpServer. This will allow setting authentication using Filter or Autheticator.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Let the apps wrap them selfs with another proxy implementing the authentication. Aside from the complexity of adding another process doing the authentication, there are cases when the authentication is already implemented inside the app for all other HTTP Endpoints, thus it makes sense to do the authentication in the same app using same code and data. Apache Pulsar is an example. Users can provide an AuthenticationProvider plugin, and each request to Pulsar will use it for authentication. Forcing Pulsar users to spin up a proxy which implements the Pulsar code for authentication is awfully complicated.
