Troubleshooting: "Failed to access SCM site. Message: Response status code does not indicate success: 401 (Unauthorized)"

I have a suggestion for the troubleshooting section in the wiki. To assign certificates to a web app it is required to have the setting "Basic Auth Publishing Credentials" (in General settings) set to "On". Otherwise you will see an error message like:

Exception while executing function: IssueCertificate Orchestrator function 'IssueCertificate' failed: The activity function 'Http01Precondition' failed: "Failed to access SCM site. Message: Response status code does not indicate success: 401 (Unauthorized).". See the function execution logs for additional details.

We have changed Acmebot to use Bearer Token authentication instead of Basic authentication for execution, so the latest version will work correctly even if Basic authentication is disabled.
