Make auth = basic the default again

[untitaker]

auth = guess, as implemented in #57 (#33), was a bad idea to have as default:

• It causes performance issues and confusing server logs, as in double vdirsyncer requests #293, authentication issue #446
• Apparently Darwin Calendar Server breaks with anything but preemptive auth, see apple calendar server discover issue #457

@geier I'm not sure if I ever asked you this, but is there a particular server you know of that doesn't support preemptive basic auth?

I plan to ask on the CalConnect mailing list on what the best client behavior is.

no, I know of no servers that don't support basic auth.
