Close #19494: add urrlib.request.HTTPBasicPriorAuthHandler
This auth handler adds the Authorization header to the first
HTTP request rather than waiting for a HTTP 401 Unauthorized
response from the server as the default HTTPBasicAuthHandler
does.
This allows working with websites like https://api.github.com which do
not follow the strict interpretation of RFC, but more the dicta in the
end of section 2 of RFC 2617:
> A client MAY preemptively send the corresponding Authorization
> header with requests for resources in that space without receipt
> of another challenge from the server. Similarly, when a client
> sends a request to a proxy, it may reuse a userid and password in
> the Proxy-Authorization header field without receiving another
> challenge from the proxy server. See section 4 for security
> considerations associated with Basic authentication.
