Added unavailable basic_auth for authorization for maven packages

Vitaliy Holovko requested to merge 277385-use-basic-http-auth-with-your-Maven/Gradle-packages into master

What does this MR do and why?

The problem is that the GitLab Package Registry when using a personal access token does not support basic HTTP auth for Maven and Gradle. It does for deploy tokens, but the registry will return a 400 response when it should return a 404, which can mislead Developers.

Screenshots or screen recordings

Screenshots are required for UI changes, and strongly recommended for all other merge requests.
