Fix for pimatic-z-way authentication

---

I had a razberry lying around here for quite some time and was not able to use it properly because the latest z-way version needs authentication for the api calls and I didn’t want to expose the controls in the network without any login.

This adds authentication to the pimatic-z-way plugin. Works fine for me with the 0.9 beta.

Would be great if somebody could test on 0.8.

Please make sure you have node >= 4.2.6 installed.
It has cost me half a day of work because later versions of node have a stricter implementation of HTTP which currently breaks all communication with z-way because they currently have a bug and send a malformed HTTP header.

Let’s hope they fix it quickly.

With pimatic 0.8 it is node 0.10.x!
With pimatic 0.9 it strongly recommended to use the latest LTS release! This is node v4.4.3 at present! https://nodejs.org/en/

Sure but as said this version doesn’t work with current z-way.

So yes always use latest LTS but for testing this plugin you will need the old version.

Let’s hope they fix it fast, last comment talks about one week.
