Support custom encoding for basic auth credentials
This introduces BasicAuthEx namedtuple which acts as like as BasicAuth one with single exception as it handles encoding as third argument. RFC2617, section 2 (HTTP Authentication) defines basic-credentials: basic-credentials = base64-user-pass base64-user-pass = <base64 encoding of user-pass, except not limited to 76 char/line> user-pass = userid ":" password userid = *<TEXT excluding ":"> password = *TEXT RFC 2616, section 2.1 defines TEXT to have ISO-8859-1 encoding (aka latin1): The TEXT rule is only used for descriptive field contents and values that are not intended to be interpreted by the message parser. Words of *TEXT MAY contain characters from character sets other than ISO-8859-1 only when encoded according to the rules of RFC 2047. In fact, I know no Basic Auth implementation which respects RFC 2047 for Basic Auth. However, the truth of the real world is that the most major browsers are already uses UTF-8 instead of ISO-8859-1 for the credentials as like as any modern web services which allows non-ASCII login/password. Also, there is the RFC draft which aims to handle the case when credentials will optionally get always encoded with UTF-8: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpauth-basicauth-update-01 While we should strictly follow common standards, we also need to handle real world use cases. This change allows that and makes aiohttp ready for further Basic Auth scheme standard update.
