DOCS-4944 — Document the new HTTP Basic authentication option for trigger webhooks.

Source changes

  • APP-17695 — app#13399: Add webhook HTTP Basic auth support in the trigger configuration UI

Docs changes

  • docs/reference/triggers.md: Added auth field to the notifications attribute table. Added new "Basic authentication" subsection under "Webhook attributes" with JSON configuration example and note about public fragment restrictions.
  • docs/data/trigger-on-data.md: Added step mentioning the optional basic authentication checkbox in the webhook setup instructions.
  • docs/monitor/alert.md: Added note about the optional basic authentication option in the webhook setup instructions.

How I found these

  • Xref lookup: trigger configuration reference page is the primary webhook docs page
  • Grep matches: searched for webhook, basic auth, basicAuth across all docs; 12 files reference webhooks, 3 contain webhook setup instructions

Add documentation for the new basic authentication option on trigger
webhooks. Users can now optionally include HTTP Basic auth credentials
(username and password) with webhook requests, configurable through
the UI or JSON configuration.

Nit: Capitalization is inconsistent throughout diff. Also, use "authentication" (spelled out) instead of "auth." Should be "HTTP basic authentication credentials" (sentence case)

Use "HTTP basic authentication" (sentence case, spelled out) consistently
throughout, per reviewer feedback.

Fixed in 026aeaf — changed all instances to "HTTP basic authentication" (sentence case, spelled out) consistently across all three files.
