Subject: forwardauth: Fix case when `copy_headers` is omitted (#4856)

See https://caddy.community/t/using-forward-auth-and-writing-my-own-authenticator-in-php/16410, apparently it didn't work when `copy_headers` wasn't used. This is because we were skipping adding a handler to the routes in the "good response handler", but this causes the logic in `reverseproxy.go` to ignore the response handler since it's empty. Instead, we can just always put in the `header` handler, even with an empty `Set` operation, it's just a no-op, but it fixes that condition in the proxy code.
