Agam Dua acaca2d50d Added: ability to set basic authentication on requests (#778)
Motivation:

As an HTTP library, async-http-client should have authentication
support.

Modifications:

This adds a `setBasicAuth()` method to both HTTPClientRequest and
`HTTPClient.Request` and their related unit tests.

Result:

Library users will be able to leverage this method to use basic
authentication on their requests without implementing this in their own
projects.

Note: I also ran the tests (`swift test`) with the
`docker.io/library/swift:6.0-focal` and
`docker.io/library/swift:5.10.1-focal` to ensure linux compatibility.
