[API Doc] Improve the description of the preemptive authentication

           Summary: [API Doc] Improve the description of the preemptive
                    authentication
           Product: Commons
           Version: Nightly Builds
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/authenticat
                    ion.html
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: HttpClient
        AssignedTo: commons-httpclient-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: olegk@apache.org


HttpClient authentication guide does not reflect the fact that preemptive
authentication requires default credentials to be set. It should also mention
the security implications of preemptive authentication (default credentials sent
with EVERY request to ANY target / proxy server)
