Enhance authentication handling in request processing

- Updated HandleCount, HandleEvent, and HandleReq functions to improve authentication checks based on new configuration options.
- Introduced `AuthToWrite` configuration to allow unauthenticated access for COUNT and REQ operations while still enforcing ACL checks.
- Enhanced comments for clarity on authentication requirements and access control logic.
- Bumped version to v0.17.18.
