Description

As a follow-up on JSPWIKI-804 we need more support for the X-Forwarded-For header.

For example the RecentChangesPlugin shows Authors, but not the X-Forwarded-For address.

The IfPlugin also has an option to filter based on IP adddress.

On several places we do logging with the IP address.

All these should also support the X-Forwarded-For header.
This can be done easy by changing occurences of request.getRemoteAddress() by HttpUtil.getRemoteAddress(request).

Patch coming up....
