Re: [whatwg/fetch] Clarify that credentials include HTTP auth (#616)

OK I but it doesn’t need to be an either-or thing. I mean, I think it’s helpful to mention HTTP authentication as part of the *credentials* definition, at point of use — without requiring readers to need to go to the *authentication entries* definition to realize it’s about HTTP authentication.

But I can also update the *authentication entries* definition to make it more clear it’s about HTTP authentication.

And anyway I think to begin with the benefit of any changes here are for non-implementor readers, and not really for implementors. So I think if we’re going to add anything more here at all over what’s in the spec already now, it sort of should be optimized/targeted for non-implementor readers.
