Support standard HTTP authentication protocol for basic authentication.

[simonlsk]

Currently, it is possible to manually set authentication to basic, then set user and password as config parameters. This means saving a password in plain text in the config or config.local file, or alternatively use ask_password which is also sub-optimal.

The standard HTTP protocol, which is also used by git, is the following:

1. Try to access URL (plain request)
2. Receive 401 with header WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=<realm>
3. Locally fetch username and password - preferably store the password in the OS password store (i.e Keychain for MacOS)
4. Retry to access URL again with basic auth header.

This will make it possible to configure an HTTP remote with a single line
dvc remote add origin https://dagshub.com/user/repo.dvc
And directly be able to run
dvc push -r origin

I would add - this would also make it much easier to implement
dvc push -r https://my-dvc-remote/ directly,
without configuring anything, much like how git clone works.
