Given that the core of NTLM authentication is going to be protocol
agnostic It would be useful if a generic CURLE_AUTH_ERROR already
existed in order to allow it to bubble up from core NTLM functions all
the way up.
But I certainly can not justify the need for an additional code for
this at this moment.
