>          Issue Type: Bug

> A customer wants to use YAML catalog items, where the library bundles are retrieved from their Nexus repo using basic-auth. They want the nexus credentials to be stored in an externalized credential store. They want the credentials to be able to contain special characters (e.g. "@") that are not valid in a URL.
> Building up to this, here is what we currently support...
> Either of the catalog items below is valid (i.e. the credentials can be encoded in the url; the library can be supplied either as a string or as a map (where the map currently takes keys of "url", "name" and "version")):
> {noformat}
> brooklyn.catalog:
>   id: simple-example
>   version: "1.0"
>   itemType: template
>   libraries:
>   - url: https://myuser:mypass@nexus.example.com/mybundle.jar
>   item:
>     ...
> brooklyn.catalog:
>   id: simple-example
>   version: "1.0"
>   itemType: template
>   libraries:
>   - https://myuser:mypass@nexus.example.com/mybundle.jar
>   item:
>     ...
> {noformat}
> For usernames / passwords with special characters, these need to be escaped before adding to the url. For example, for username "myuser@example.com", the url would be {{https://myuser%40mydomain.com:mypass@nexus.example.com/mybundle.jar}}.
> For externalized config, one can use the example below:
> {noformat}
> brooklyn.catalog:
>   id: simple-example
>   version: "1.0"
>   itemType: template
>   libraries:
>   - $brooklyn:formatString:
>     - https://%s:%s@nexus.example.com/mybundle.jar
>     - $brooklyn:external("myprovider", "username")
>     - $brooklyn:external("myprovider", "password")
>   item:
>     ...
> {noformat}
> However, this requires that the externalised config stores the username and password in its url-escaped form (rather than as the raw password).
> It also means that the password is embedded in the url, which is potentially logged or persisted.
> ---
> We could fix the first of these problems (i.e. credentials store can just supply the raw username/password) by adding DSL support for {{$brooklyn:escapeUrl}}. One could write something like:
> {noformat}
> brooklyn.catalog:
>   id: simple-example
>   version: "1.0"
>   itemType: template
>   libraries:
>   - $brooklyn:formatString:
>     - https://%s:%s@nexus.example.com/mybundle.jar
>     - $brooklyn:escapeUrl:
>       - $brooklyn:external("myprovider", "username")
>     - $brooklyn:escapeUrl:
>       - $brooklyn:external("myprovider", "password")
>   item:
>     ...
> {noformat}
> ---
> Alternatively (as well?) we could supply the basic-auth credentials as an explicit configuration option. The advantage of this is that we should be able to keep it as the DSL "deferred supplier" so not persist the password.
> For example, something like the YAML below:
> {noformat}
> brooklyn.catalog:
>   id: simple-example
>   version: "1.0"
>   itemType: template
>   libraries:
>   - url: https://nexus.example.com/mybundle.jar
>     basicAuth:
>       username: $brooklyn:external("myprovider", "username")
>       password: $brooklyn:external("myprovider", "password")
>   item:
>     ...
> {noformat}
> However, this is fiddly to implement. Looking at the code path for where it eventually loads the bundle over http(s):
> {noformat}
> "main" prio=5 tid=0x00007fa34c002000 nid=0x1703 at breakpoint[0x0000700000217000]

> One needs to go all the way back to {{OsgiManager.registerBundle}} before we have the {{CatalogBundle}} object - after that, we only have the URL string. So that is a lot of methods that would need to change!
