Screenshot of current authentication dialog

The default HTTP authentication dialog does not look very good. Instead of working around this in Epiphany, let's make the default dialog nicer.

Suggested improvements from [1] are:

 * The dialog is far too wide, with too much space between the labels and the entry fields.
 * The entry fields are too wide.
 * The "OK" button should have a more meaningful label, like "Authenticate" or "Unlock".
 * It doesn't have a heading.
 * The first line reads awkwardly: it is in the wrong tense. Perhaps "Username and password required" would be better.
