Some browsers (eg. Firefox) behave differently when presented with multiple auth schemes in 'WWW-Authenticate' header. The expected behavior is that browser select the most secure auth-scheme before trying others, but Firefox selects the first presented auth scheme and tries the next ones sequentially. As the browser interpretation is something that we do not control, we can at least present the auth schemes in most to least secure order as the server's preference. This commit modifies the code to collect and sort the auth schemes presented by most to least secure. The priority of the auth schemes is fixed, the lower number denoting more secure auth-scheme. The current order of schemes based on the ES supported auth-scheme is [Negotiate, Bearer,Basic] and when we add future support for other schemes we will need to update the code. If need be we will make this configuration customizable in future. Unit test to verify the WWW-Authenticate header values are sorted by server preference as more secure to least secure auth schemes. Tested with Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer 11. Closes#32699
