allow for git HTTP Basic Auth when using https://

- Overview

This commit adds support for HTTP Basic Auth user and passwords when cloning
a git repository. Restrictions are placed to ensure Basic Auth is only used
when accessing remote repositories over HTTPS.

Support for updating remotes is included for user/password/uri changes.

Submodule support is not maintained, as those are outside the scope of my
initial need :)

- Motivation

Specifically, GitHub's HTTPS access layer has some niceties not available when
using the SSH protocol. See https://help.github.com/articles/which-remote-url-should-i-use/#cloning-with-https-recommended

It is nice to enforce read-only access to repositories from remote hosts.

Also, it is a lot cleaner to drop Passwords/Security Tokens in configurations
rather than PEM form private keys.
