Add `remote_ip` plug

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -113,6 +113,7 @@ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/).
 - Pleroma API: Add `/api/v1/pleroma/accounts/confirmation_resend?email=<email>` for resending account confirmation.
 - Pleroma API: Email change endpoint.
 - Admin API: Added moderation log
+- Support for `X-Forwarded-For` and similar HTTP headers which used by reverse proxies to pass a real user IP address to the backend. Must not be enabled unless your instance is behind at least one reverse proxy (such as Nginx, Apache HTTPD or Varnish Cache).
 - Web response cache (currently, enabled for ActivityPub)
 - Mastodon API: Added an endpoint to get multiple statuses by IDs (`GET /api/v1/statuses/?ids[]=1&ids[]=2`)
 - ActivityPub: Add ActivityPub actor's `discoverable` parameter.
