feat: add HTTP Digest authentication support for WebDAV backend
Implements the feature requested in PR #225 / proposed in PR #227. Adds an optional second constructor argument ('basic' or 'digest', defaulting to 'basic' for full backward compatibility). AI-assisted-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Anna Larch <anna@nextcloud.com>
