   ### Platforms affected
   
   iOS
   
   ### Motivation and Context
   <!-- Why is this change required? What problem does it solve? -->
   <!-- If it fixes an open issue, please link to the issue here. -->
   
   I think it would be nice if we could support plugins that can handle an 
authentication challenge coming from the server, namely this callback on 
WKWebView:
   
   - 
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wknavigationdelegate/1455638-webview?language=objc
   
   It would help support this functionality in a plugin that I maintain:
   
   - 
https://github.com/cordova-ccafix/cordova-plugin-client-certificate-support/issues/7
   
   ### Description
   <!-- Describe your changes in detail -->
   
   This proposal adds a handler for a "didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge" 
callback from the WKWebView, and hands it off to a plugin if possible.
   
   I am raising this proposal now to see whether or not there is sufficient 
interest to justify any further work. A couple major TODO items:
   
   - [ ] cleanup logging
   - [ ] cleanup some comments
   - [ ] find a better completion strategy than "first plugin wins"
   
   **Alternative solution:** leave this functionality up to a native XHR plugin 
to support, which is good enough for my customer need right now
   
   ### Testing
   <!-- Please describe in detail how you tested your changes. -->
   
   Tested with this proposal on my plugin:
   
   - 
https://github.com/cordova-ccafix/cordova-plugin-client-certificate-support/tree/expose-auth-challenge-callback
