Security: Use Header.Set and Header.Del for X-Grafana-User header (#25495)

This ensures that the X-Grafana-User header can be trusted.
If the configuration enabled the setting of this header, the
server can now trust that X-Grafana-User is set/unset by Grafana.
Before this, an anonymous user could simply set the X-Grafana-User
header themselves (using the developer tool for example)
