Fix Authelia bypass on remote-Authelia forward_auth (asterisk-digital-ocean)

The remote-Authelia forward_auth block dialed a scheme-qualified upstream
(https://auth.example.com), which is a second Caddy hop. Caddy rewrites the
outgoing Host header to the upstream host for routing, and without an
explicit override X-Forwarded-Host picked up that rewritten value instead
of the original site's host. Authelia was evaluating every protected
domain as auth.example.com itself (bypass policy), so 2FA never triggered
for any domain behind the remote instance. Pin the forwarded headers to
the original request explicitly to fix it.
