    Allow custom authenticator

    Fixes [NETBEANS-61](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-61).
    
    Allows a Platform user to install his own version of an Authenticator which may be more appropriate for the given application than the one provided by default by the Platform. 
    In no implementation of Authenticator is found in the Global Lookup then everything will work as before.

> Currently the Platform will install its own version of an [Authenticator|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/net/Authenticator.html], called {{NbAuthenticator}}. There's no way for Platform users to use their own Authenticator which may be more appropriate for the given application than the one provided by the Platform by default.
> Thanks to Lookup this is dead easy to fix.
