Support .netrc #353

@Bart97

Description

@Bart97

Supporting .netrc credentials would simplify scenarios where private repositories need to be accessed. As I understand it would be as simple as setting CURL_NETRC_OPTIONAL in the curl calls.

This would be especially useful when building proprietary container images, where it's risky to directly embed credentials in the package manager configuration. In such cases .netrc can be mounted as a secret during build process only.
