At the protocol level, I don't see much point. wwwauth sufficiently
implies "http", and any helper is free to ignore or respect keys as
appropriate to what it can handle. A flat namespace is fine.
Here I was more talking about the internal implementation. Mostly it was
just funky that this internal http state flag was stuck into the
credential struct. I think it could be removed with some minor pain, but
it's probably not too big a deal (the pain at all is only because we are
having to bring this state across multiple curl callbacks).
So let's go with it for now.
