Basic Authentication for Vantage.js

vantage-auth-basic is an authentication extension designed for the vantage.js interactive CLI framework. It provides basic authentication capabilities, prompting users for usernames and passwords configured on the Vantage server. Key features include configurable retry limits for incorrect password attempts, a delay between retries, and an account lockout mechanism with a specified unlock timeout. As of version 1.0.0, this extension is tightly integrated with vantage.js and is often used by simply specifying the string "basic" in the vantage.auth() method, negating the need for a separate `require()` call when used within a Vantage application. Given the vantage.js framework's last significant activity being several years ago, this package is effectively abandoned and not recommended for new projects.
