auth: only ever pick CURLAUTH_BEARER if we *have* a Bearer token
The Bearer authentication was added to cURL 7.61.0, but there is a problem: if CURLAUTH_ANY is selected, and the server supports multiple authentication methods including the Bearer method, we strongly prefer that latter method (only CURLAUTH_NEGOTIATE beats it), and if the Bearer authentication fails, we will never even try to attempt any other method. This is particularly unfortunate when we already know that we do not have any Bearer token to work with. Such a scenario happens e.g. when using Git to push to Visual Studio Team Services (which supports Basic and Bearer authentication among other methods) and specifying the Personal Access Token directly in the URL (this aproach is frequently taken by automated builds). Let's make sure that we have a Bearer token to work with before we select the Bearer authentication among the available authentication methods. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Closes #2754
