Clarify username in API authentication docs

Christopher Schinnerl requested to merge vw-api-docs-authentication-clarification into master

Created by: VoidingWarranties

The username required for API authentication wasn't documented anywhere, and was confusing users (http://forum.sia.tech/topic/302/what-s-the-authenticate-api-username-rfc-2617).

The username isn't actually checked in the API authentication, but I didn't mention that as it's feasible to imagine an authentication scheme where different users have different permissions for different endpoints.
