The API Specs page only listed Basic HTTP authorization, so readers had no indication that API keys are the supported and recommended way to authenticate (and that writes require one). This adds the Authorization: Api-Key <KEY> header to the authentication section and links to the existing API keys guide, matching the wording already used in the how-to and the API-keys blog posts.

Fixes peeringdb/peeringdb#2010
