Ben McClelland 68d7924afa feat: add web-based UI for S3 object management and admin operations
Implements a web interface for VersityGW with role-based access:
- Object explorer for all users to browse, upload, and download S3 objects
- Admin dashboard showing system overview and gateway status
- Admin-only user management for IAM user administration
- Admin-only bucket management for creating and configuring S3 buckets
- User authentication with automatic role-based page access

The web UI is disabled by default and only enabled with the --webui or
VGW_WEBUI_PORT env options that specify the listening address/port for
the web UI server. This preserves previous version behavior to not enable
any new ports/services unless opted in.

Login to the web UI login page with accesskey/secretkey credentials as
either user or admin account. UI functionality will auto detect login
role.

Regular users have access to the object explorer for managing files within
their accessible buckets. Admins additionally have access to user and bucket
management interfaces. The web UI is served on a separate port from the S3
server and integrates with existing S3 and Admin API endpoints.

All requests to the S3 and Admin services are signed by the browser and sent
directly to the S3/Admin service handlers. The login credentials are never
sent over the network for security purposes. This requires the S3/Admin
service to configure CORS Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers for these
requests.
