Support private token headers for composer
What does this MR do?
PHP Composer handles authentication differently for gitlab which leads to 404 error when trying to use it with the current auth method (Basic HTTP Auth).
This introduces support for PAT via Private Token header as natively supported by Composer.
NOTE: Part of what was required to make this work with PAT was merged in !38858 (merged)
