Comment:

 In [changeset:"51057" 51057]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="51057"
 Site Health: Conditionally run Authorization header test.

 The test to confirm if Authorization headers can be used and recognized by
 WordPress needs to include a username and password combination that
 WordPress can compare against during the testing phase. The inclusion of
 credentials here would unfortunately also invalidate any existing basic
 auth session for the site, for example if the user had added this as an
 extra layer of security on their back-end.

 This test is now skipped if the `wp_is_site_protected_by_basic_auth()`
 function detects that basic auth is being used, since the act of using
 basic auth to access the site confirms that this feature is working as
 expected in the first place.

 Props WebDragon, TimothyBlynJacobs, costdev.
 Fixes #52642.
