 If the WordPress dashboard is behind basic auth, in some checks the site
 health component will pass the authentication through to background HTTP
 requests (the wp-cron tests does this for example).

 The https detection test does not do this, it would be worth discussing
 whether it should:

 * always do this
 * send a second request with basic auth if the first request fails
 * something similar not listed here :)

 Follow up to #52783.
