We currently have two locations in our examples where we define the same compatibility wrappers for MSVC. Move them into "common.h" to avoid duplication and make them available to other examples.
Credential callback are being passed a bitset that indicates which credential types are allowed in the current context. In our examples code, we completely ignore that field and always return username/password credentials, which doesn't necessarily make sense e.g. when only SSH keys are allowed. Refactor the code and only return username/password credentials in the case where `USERPASS_PLAINTEXT` credentials are allowed. Otherwise, return a positive error code to indicate that no credentials could be acquired.
Implement plain username credential types. These type of credentials might be asked for e.g. as some kind of pre-authentication step, before the actual credentials are passed.
Implement SSH key credentials. This allows users to use the SSH transport with the lg2 example code.

The credentials callback may be passed a username in case where the URL already includes the expected username. As we usually cannot use a different username in such context, we should use that one if provided and not ask the user for a diferent username.

Thanks for your review, @tiennou! |
Do you know why that is? Is it just not getting processed at all or is there any magic construct inside that docurium fails to parse? |

I've been asked how to implement SSH authentication with libgit2. I've thus decided to implement that support for our examples code, so that one may now clone SSH repos via the lg2 executable.
