In order to get Negotiate (SPNEGO) authentication to work in HTTP you
used to be required to provide a (fake) user name (this concerned both
curl and the lib) because the code wrongly only considered
authentication if there was a user name provided, as in:
curl -u : --negotiate https://example.com/
This commit leverages the `struct auth` want member to figure out if the
user enabled CURLAUTH_NEGOTIATE, effectively removing the requirement of
setting a user name both in curl and the lib.

Fixes https://sourceforge.net/p/curl/bugs/440/Fixes#1161Closes#9047
If HTTPAUTH_GSSNEGOTIATE was used for a POST request and
gss_init_sec_context() failed, the POST request was sent
with empty body. This commit also restores the original
behavior of `curl --fail --negotiate`, which was changed
by commit 6c60355323.
Add regression tests 2077 and 2078 to cover this.
