Given that the extension status code 511 is now an official code (http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6585.txt), how do we all feel about causing it to be emitted whenever an intercepted request is configured to require proxy_auth satisfaction for ACLs?
 That would be for all TPROXY, NAT, and SSL-bump intercepted requests.


Pros:
* Coupled with our discussed alterations to how and when proxy_auth operate this would simplify the proxy_auth handling a bit by erasing the maybe-skip cases. * as UA software get updated it should allow proxy-auth to operate better in more situations.
* uses a 5XX so the client does not retry on failures.

Cons:
* user pain as configs which were silently ignoring the auth failures start to produce 511. (auth_param option to enable/disable?)
