1. [RFC] http: reauthenticate on 401 Unauthorized …

   A credential helper may return a bad credential if the user's password
   has changed or a personal access token has expired. The user gets
   an HTTP 401 Unauthorized error. The user invariably retries the command.
   
   To spare the user from retrying the command, in case of HTTP 401
   Unauthorized, call `credential fill` again and reauthenticate. This will
   succeed if a helper generates a fresh credential or the user enters a
   valid password.
   
   Keep current behaviour of asking user for username and password at
   most once. Sanity check that second credential differs from first before
   trying it.
   
   Alternatives considered: add a string 'source' field to credential
   struct that records which helper (or getpass) populated credential.
