Andreas Ahlenstorf f1a08a7ab1 fix: remove second challenge from WWW-Authenticate header (#11616)
https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/11393 introduced a second challenge, one for HTTP Basic Authentication, to the existing `WWW-Authenticate` header sent by Forgejo's container registry in response to missing or invalid credentials. However, that led to unexpected compatibility issues with some clients. For example, it broke Renovate (see https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/discussions/41774).

To be extra-safe, the decision was taken to revert that particular change without introducing a second header field (i.e., sending two `WWW-Authenticate` headers). That effectively restores the old behaviour.

```
$ curl -v -u andreas --basic http://192.168.178.62:3000/v2
Enter host password for user 'andreas':
*   Trying 192.168.178.62:3000...
