[HttpClient] Authenticator() - ability to perform alternate authentication

I did not feel like giving users the possibility to mess around with the default
authentication preferences to avoid their misuse. Therefore I wanted to keep the
DEFAULT_AUTH_PREFS private. On the other hand I do agree that HttpClientParams
or AuthPolicy would be a better home for auth defaults.

Good point. I just realised that this is quite lousy. I think auth defaults
should be derived from the AuthPolicy. I'll try to come up with a better solution. 

A new patch to follow.

Thanks, Mike
