HttpClient throws exception when using invalid username/password on Linux

[davidsh]

Found during my enterprise-scenario testing.

Sending a request with HttpClient to a server that requires Negotiate scheme authentication throws an exception on Linux when an incorrect username/password is used.

Sample repro:

[Fact]
public async Task HttpClient_InvalidAuthentication_Failure()
{
 using var handler = new HttpClientHandler();
 handler.Credentials = TestConfiguration.InvalidNetworkCredentials;
 using var client = new HttpClient(handler);

 using HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(TestConfiguration.NegotiateAuthWebServer);
 Assert.Equal(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized, response.StatusCode);
}

Stack:

System.Net.Http.Enterprise.Tests.HttpClientEnterpriseTest.HttpClient_InvalidAuthentication_Failure [FAIL]
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception : GSSAPI operation failed with error - Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information (SPNEGO failed to negotiate a mechanism).
Stack Trace:
/repo/src/libraries/Common/src/System/Net/NTAuthentication.Common.cs(285,0): at System.Net.NTAuthentication.GetOutgoingBlob(Byte[] incomingBlob, Boolean throwOnError, SecurityStatusPal& statusCode) /repo/src/libraries/Common/src/System/Net/NTAuthentication.Common.cs(187,0): at System.Net.NTAuthentication.GetOutgoingBlob(String incomingBlob)

On Windows, an invalid username/password will simply cause no auth token to be generated and a final HTTP status code 401 will result for the request.
