Description
What's the problem this feature will solve?
Use keyring to resolve (username and) passwords for a repository.
Describe the solution you'd like
In download.py when a 401 is being handled,
This would enable the use of additional backends to store and resolve passwords for installing from private feeds.
Alternative Solutions
For the current (private) previews of this in some services, we generate a new password and provide it to users to include in a pip.ini file. This change would allow them to simply provide the URL on the command line and install a separate package to generate credentials on the fly.
Additional context
See jaraco/keyring#350 for an addition to keyring that will be used (when available) to also resolve usernames as well as passwords.
