Add option to measure and report time spent in `ParseBlueprint()`. Future: consider setting a parsing timeout and abort parsing when timeout is reached.

Direct support for API authentication. ## RFC proposals - [API Blueprint RFC 0002: Authentication Framework](https://github.com/apiaryio/api-blueprint-rfcs/blob/master/draft/0002-authentication.md) - [API Blueprint RFC 0003: Basic Authentication Scheme](https://github.com/apiaryio/api-blueprint-rfcs/blob/master/draft/0003-authentication-basic.md) - [PR: OAuth 2 Authentication Scheme](https://github.com/apiaryio/api-blueprint-rfcs/pull/6)
