No access to context in Strategy.

Hello. When I try to get user data in strategy, I can’t get the state data. For example, I need to authenticate user to tether his data of different socials, so in express I’ld need to set passReqToCallback: true in strategy. For now I made a hack in my project- in file lib/framework/request.js I changed exports.create function to this:

  const req = Object.create(ctx.request, properties)

  // add passport http.IncomingMessage extensions
  req.login = IncomingMessageExt.logIn
  req.logIn = IncomingMessageExt.logIn
  req.logout = IncomingMessageExt.logOut
  req.logOut = IncomingMessageExt.logOut
  req.isAuthenticated = IncomingMessageExt.isAuthenticated
  req.isUnauthenticated = IncomingMessageExt.isUnauthenticated
  req.ctx = ctx;
  return req
}

Just added req.ctx=ctx; before return req so I can use ctx in my strategy.

I pass the database connection through middlewares via ctx.state so having access to that in the strategy would be nice, for persistence.
