Description
**This ticket is out of date and should be updated to reflect upcoming IPC design**
The `use_auth` configuration setting should be set to `true` to make sure that all requests to the daemon are properly authenticated with a password stored in the app's private keystore. This will prevent third-party apps from being able to make calls to the daemon.

Research direction
The issue says it is out of date and must be updated for the upcoming IPC design; start by clarifying that design and how lbrynet-daemon requests use the use_auth setting and the app's private keystore. Define concrete acceptance criteria, then verify authentication behavior, tests, build status, and documentation against them.
