The approach for allowing authorization by user or IP introduced in r956387,

etc. causes problems because the authentication module calls
note_*_auth_failure if authentication fails. This is inappropriate if access is
later allowed because of the IP.

So, instead of calling the auth_checker hook even if authentication failed, we
introduce a new access_checker_ex hook that runs between the access_checker and
the check_user_id hooks. If an access_checker_ex functions returns OK, the
request will be allowed without authentication.

To make use of this, change mod_authz_core to walk the require blocks in the
access_checker_ex phase and deny/allow the request if the authz result does not
depend on an authenticated user. To distinguish a real AUTHZ_DENIED from an
authz provider from an authz provider needing an authenticated user, the latter
must return the new AUTHZ_DENIED_NO_USER code.
