support for digest authentication

[beruhan]

I used aiohttp for async http requests,but It dose not support digest authentication.I think it is a basic feature for http authentication, I found some one has done some effort to implement the goal, as follows #2213. can support this features officially?

I don't know if digest authentication must be a part of aiohttp or aiohttp-security
I have already used aiohttp-security to implement Basic Authentication.
https://github.com/Maillol/asterios/blob/master/asterios/authorization.py
I think it's possible to use aiohttp-security to implement digest authentication.

Hi, I use asyncio on python 3.9.0. and I need digest authentication of aiohttp. Does aiohttp support digest authentication?

#2213 has good code chunks, that's why I did not remove it yet.
But it changes the client API.
Instead of async with client.get(url, auth=BasicAuth()) as resp ... the digest version should be used as

    auth = helpers.DigestAuth(digest_username, digest_password, client)

    try:
        resp = await auth.request('GET', '/')
         # handle response
    finally:
        resp.release()

I had a wish to refactor the auth code and allow writing third-party auth providers like OAuth.
Unfortunately, I had no time for this massive change yet.

Is there any progress about this enhancement?
