Description

It's not clear to me how auth/casbin is meant to be used. I had a look at the test cases but it looks like that's just using hard-coded values. Are we meant to wrap this with our own middleware that injects the subject & object and populates the context with the model & policy or is this just meant to serve as an example implementation?

Would be good to have a readme to add a little more context...

Research direction
Start by examining the existing test file in the auth/casbin directory to understand current usage patterns. Review the go kit auth package structure for consistency. Then write a README explaining how to use the middleware, including a simple example. Optionally, look at other auth implementations in the same repository for reference.
