http: add option to try authentication without username
Performing GSS-Negotiate authentication using Kerberos does not require specifying a username or password, since that information is already included in the ticket itself. However, libcurl refuses to perform authentication if it has not been provided with a username and password. Add an option, http.emptyAuth, that provides libcurl with an empty username and password to make it attempt authentication anyway. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
