[WHIRR-688] svn credentials support, in particular for puppet's recepies checkout

• Type: New Feature

Description

all seems to be designed to work either with a tar.gz to be downloaded
either with an anonymous git repository...

in my case, I'd need to provide a URL of an svn repository, and ask interactively to the user his/her credentials for the svn

the specific usecase is when using the puppet integration,
I need to enable the component to download my recepies

and maybe even reuse these credentials from within the puppet scripts
for the time of execution of whirr itself... (without leaving trace of them to a user that is going to login afterwards to the node)

p.s. I wonder how to name the svn url, as http :// seems to be handled by default by curl, and svn:// is not svn over http,
it is a completely different protocol (and svn+http ://, thinking of svn+ssh://, is not a registered protocol either) ...suggestions?
