Arkadiusz Fal eefd49f743 Fix three basic-auth regressions surfaced by end-to-end testing
- InstanceDetector: a single 401 from one probe was over-eagerly concluded
  as "credentials invalid" / "credentials required". On instances behind a
  reverse proxy where one probe path (e.g. Yattee Server's /info) hits a
  same-origin redirect, iOS URLSession strips the Authorization header on
  the redirect and the request 401s even with valid credentials. Track 401s
  across all probes and only conclude basicAuthRequired/basicAuthInvalid
  when no probe matched and at least one returned 401.

- InstanceLoginView: the Invidious/Piped login flow constructed an API
  client backed by the shared appEnvironment.httpClient, which has no
  per-instance basic-auth headers. For instances behind a reverse proxy,
  the login POST 401d before reaching the upstream login endpoint. Build a
  per-instance HTTPClient with the basic-auth Authorization header baked in
  via setDefaultHeaders, mirroring ContentService.httpClientWithBasicAuth.

- InvidiousAPI.login: the login function constructs its own URLSession (to
  capture Set-Cookie via a redirect-blocking delegate), so it never
  inherits headers from the injected httpClient. Add an optional
  extraHeaders parameter and have InstanceLoginView pass the basic-auth
  header through when present. PipedAPI.login uses httpClient.fetch and
  inherits defaultHeaders correctly, so no change is needed there.
