After enabling swift in globals.yml with enable_swift: "yes" the horizon Object storage dashboard fails to load with error "Error: Unable to fetch policies"

This is due to the fact, that swift_proxy_server is set up in way that endpoint openstack_ip:8080/info requires authentication. However, the underlying python-swiftclient that horizon uses doesnt use authentication to retrieve data from the /info endpoint.

The /info endpoint requires authentication because delay_auth_decision is by default set to False in proxy-server.conf The fact that it should be set to True is mentioned on the swift documentation https://docs.openstack.org/swift/latest/overview_auth.html

I belive that swift_delay_auth_decision should be by default set to True, not only when using the S3 API in https://github.com/openstack/kolla-ansible/blob/master/ansible/roles/swift/defaults/main.yml#L63
