[WAGON-425] write documentation for HTTP auth configuration

[jira-importer]

Hervé Boutemy opened WAGON-425 and commented

seems like the example configuration written in WAGON-422 deserves at least some publication to show how such advanced configuration is possible

ideally, it should be accompanied with some explanations and links (like https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-4.5.x/index.html IIUC)

The links should point to HttpClient 4.x and not 3.x.

Resolved by #905 (merged into wagon-3.x). Added http-configuration.md covering HTTP authentication and repository configuration.
