For basic, this header is always available with the "Show All headers" button.

To always show as a header like To/Cc/Bcc/Subject, you are going to  
need to edit a bunch of code for each view.

Although, as Hanns mentions, this is a terrible idea to show to a  
user.  The purpose of Authentication-Results should be a binary  
decision at the MTA level: if it fails, you should discard (or at  
least run through a stricter spam checking algorithm); if it succeeds,  
it should be shown to the user without any additional information.   
 From a UI/UX standpoint, its useless information for the user and  
will only serve to confuse them if shown.
