reuse http url password for p2phttp url when on same host

Browse source 
When remote.name.annexUrl is an annex+http(s) url, that uses the same
hostname as remote.name.url, which is itself a http(s) url, they are
assumed to share a username and password.

This avoids unnecessary duplicate password prompts.

"annex+http://example.com/git-annex/". The annex+http url is
served by this server, and uses port 9417 by default.
Note that, when `remote.name.url` and `remote.name.annexUrl`
contain the same hostname, they are assumed by git-annex to
support the same users and passwords. So, git-annex will use
the password for the `remote.name.url` to log into the
`remote.name.annexUrl`.
As well as serving the git-annex HTTP API, this server provides a
convenient way to download the content of any key, by using the path
"/git-annex/$uuid/$key". For example:

git-annex repository over http.
When this and the `remote.<name>.url` contain the same hostname,
and this is an annex+http(s) url, and that is also a http(s) url,
git-annex assumes that the same username and password can be used
for both urls. When password cacheing is configured, this allows
you to only be prompted once for a password when using both git and
git-annex. See gitcredentials(7) for how to set up password caching.

git-annex caches UUIDs of remote repositories here.
