Let the login throttle see real client IPs behind Cloudflare

Behind a proxy REMOTE_ADDR is the proxy, so the per-IP limit would lump
every visitor together. New optional CLIENT_IP_HEADER in config.php
(e.g. 'CF-Connecting-IP') tells the throttle which header carries the
real address; invalid or absent values fall back to REMOTE_ADDR, and
configs that predate the setting behave as before. Only for origins
unreachable except through the proxy — documented in the README, which
also covers the mod_remoteip/real_ip alternative.
