docs: Get the username & password from the Authorization header
  
          If the header is actually malformed where Basic Auth was
          indicated by the request then an InvalidAuthSyntax exception
          is raised. Otherwise an AuthRequired exception since it's
          unclear in this scenario if the requestor was even aware
          Authentication was required & if so which "scheme".
  
          Calls _validate_auth_scheme first & bubbles up it's
          exceptions.
