[issue8894] urllib2 authentication manager retries forever if password is wrong

There was a fix made in issue8797, which adopts a retry approach before failing for wrong password. This is present for Basic Auth and Digest Auth, so the problem wont be faced. Jurjen, do you have any comments before I mark this as Invalid. I see you have adopted a different approach for the patch, but the result would be same (no infinite retries)
