Enable AuthenticationListener for Browser-Widget under Windows/Edge #730

Description

@Rainer7000

As long as the Default-Browser for Windows was IE the AuthenticationListener of the Browser-Widget received the BasicAuthentication-Requests of a Website and could enter Username and Password in the background of an embedded Browser.

According to the Limitation-List of Eclipse (https://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#edgelimitations) the Feature is not working
for Microsoft Edge because of missing upstream API.
It seams the Microsoft has implemented the API for quite some time now, according to these Articles:
MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback#120
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/concepts/basic-authentication?tabs=csharp

Would it be possible make the AuthenticationListener work for Edge-Browser-Widgets by implementing the Basic-Authentication
process of the current WebView2 ?
