[whatwg/fetch] "HTTP authentication will not function" is not correct (#565)

> HTTP authentication will not function

Actually HTTP authentication functions with WebSockets in Chrome, Firefox, IE, and Edge. It doesn't work in Safari, but that's a bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80362

Firefox will also give you a password prompt if it gets a 401 response on a WebSocket. Chrome and Edge will only use cached credentials. In Chrome's case, this is the policy for all subresources, rather than being a WebSocket-specific restriction.
