credential: add WWW-Authenticate header to cred requests

Add the value of the WWW-Authenticate response header to credential
requests. Credential helpers that understand and support HTTP
authentication and authorization can use this standard header (RFC 2616
Section 14.47 [1]) to generate valid credentials.

WWW-Authenticate headers can contain information pertaining to the
authority, authentication mechanism, or extra parameters/scopes that are
required.

The current I/O format for credential helpers only allows for unique
names for properties/attributes, so in order to transmit multiple header
values (with a specific order) we introduce a new convention whereby a
C-style array syntax is used in the property name to denote multiple
ordered values for the same property.

In this case we send multiple `wwwauth[]` properties where the order
that the repeated attributes appear in the conversation reflects the
order that the WWW-Authenticate headers appeared in the HTTP response.

Add a set of tests to exercise the HTTP authentication header parsing
and the interop with credential helpers. Credential helpers will receive
WWW-Authenticate information in credential requests.

Attributes with keys that end with C-style array brackets `[]` can have
multiple values. Each instance of a multi-valued attribute forms an
ordered list of values - the order of the repeated attributes defines
the order of the values. An empty multi-valued attribute (`key[]=\n`)
acts to clear any previous entries and reset the list.

`wwwauth[]`::
When an HTTP response is received by Git that includes one or more
'WWW-Authenticate' authentication headers, these will be passed by Git
to credential helpers.
+
Each 'WWW-Authenticate' header value is passed as a multi-valued
attribute 'wwwauth[]', where the order of the attributes is the same as
they appear in the HTTP response. This attribute is 'one-way' from Git
to pass additional information to credential helpers.
Unrecognised attributes are silently discarded.
