The AbstractBasicAuthHandler class of the urllib.request module uses
an inefficient regular expression which can be exploited by an
attacker to cause a denial of service. Fix the regex to prevent the
catastrophic backtracking. Vulnerability reported by Ben Caller
and Matt Schwager.
AbstractBasicAuthHandler of urllib.request now parses all
WWW-Authenticate HTTP headers and accepts multiple challenges per
header: use the realm of the first Basic challenge.

* bpo-39548: Fix handling of 'WWW-Authenticate' header for Digest authentication
- The 'qop' value in the 'WWW-Authenticate' header is optional. The
presence of 'qop' in the header should be checked before its value
is parsed with 'split'.

* fix HTTP Digest handling in request.py
There is a bug triggered when server replies to a request with `WWW-Authenticate: Digest` where `qop="auth,auth-int"` rather than mere `qop="auth"`. Having both `auth` and `auth-int` is legitimate according to the `qop-options` rule in §3.2.1 of [[https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt|RFC 2617]]:
> qop-options = "qop" "=" <"> 1#qop-value <">
> qop-value = "auth" | "auth-int" | token
> **qop-options**: [...] If present, it is a quoted string **of one or more** tokens indicating the "quality of protection" values supported by the server. The value `"auth"` indicates authentication; the value `"auth-int"` indicates authentication with integrity protection
This is description confirmed by the definition of the [//n//]`#`[//m//]//rule// extended-BNF pattern defined in §2.1 of [[https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt|RFC 2616]] as 'a comma-separated list of //rule// with at least //n// and at most //m// items'.
When this reply is parsed by `get_authorization`, request.py only tests for identity with `'auth'`, failing to recognize it as one of the supported modes the server announced, and claims that `"qop 'auth,auth-int' is not supported"`.

Capturing exceptions into names can lead to reference cycles though the __traceback__ attribute of the exceptions in some obscure cases that have been reported previously and fixed individually. As these variables are not used anyway, we can remove the binding to reduce the chances of creating reference cycles.
See for example GH-13135
CVE-2019-9948: Avoid file reading as disallowing the unnecessary URL
scheme in URLopener().open() and URLopener().retrieve()
of urllib.request.

In urllib.request, suffixes in no_proxy environment variable with
leading dots could match related hostnames again (e.g. .b.c matches a.b.c).
