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.
