Makes it possible to provide custom pluggabble logic to process auth challenge (for example by installing corresponding plugin, sample implementation: https://github.com/msopentech/cordova-plugin-auth-dialog).
Motivation
If you load some resource which requires authentication using android default browser default login dialog appears, but if you try to load the same resource using cordova app then no dialog is shown for user and request is failed w/ 401 Unauthorized. So Currently apps have to provide own JS logic to show web based auth dialog.
It will be great if Cordova Android offers special functionality (in core or via special interface plugin developers can extend) to automatically show native auth dialog. This is extremely useful in corpnet scenarios where all resources requires user to be authenticated.
