I think this needs an API test that verifies this delegate is being called
under the correct circumstances and the credentials are used as expected.

completionHandler(AuthenticationChallengeDisposition::PerformDefaultHandling, {
});

WTFMove(completionHandler));

We almost certainly don't want ping loads to handle authentication challenges. 
Then there would be random popups asking for credentials.

This is duplicate code with NavigationState.mm

Wouldn't this changed test have passed before because we performed default
behavior?  Now we're just performing default behavior in a different place, so
this test does not verify the change works.
