Application Passwords uses Basic Authentication to transfer authentication details. If the site is already using Basic Auth, for instance to implement a private staging environment, then the REST API will treat this as an authentication attempt and would end up generating an error for any REST API request.
Now, Application Password authentication will only be attempted if Application Passwords is in use by a site. This is flagged by setting an option whenever an Application Password is created. An upgrade routine is added to set this option if any App Passwords already exist.
Lastly, creating an Application Password will be prevented if the site appears to already be using Basic Authentication.

Previously App Passwords used a mix of "enabled" and "available". We've now standardized on using "available".
Additionally, we now use a 501 status code when indicating that App Passwords is not available.

Apps may now optionally include an `app_id` parameter when directing the user to the Authorize Application screen. This allows for instances of an application to be identified and potentially revoked or blocked.

In WordPress 4.4 the REST API was first introduced. A few releases later in WordPress 4.7, the Content API endpoints were added, paving the way for Gutenberg and countless in-site experiences. In the intervening years, numerous plugins have built on top of the REST API. Many developers shared a common frustration, the lack of external authentication to the REST API.
This commit introduces Application Passwords to allow users to connect to external applications to their WordPress website. Users can generate individual passwords for each application, allowing for easy revocation and activity monitoring. An authorization flow is introduced to make the connection flow simple for users and application developers.
Application Passwords uses Basic Authentication, and by default is only available over an SSL connection.
