The type is a map of host to headers, not a flat header set. Name it after
that shape, and rename the fields carrying it to authHeadersByHost so the
lookup step is visible at every call site.

Aligns the syntax with the rest of Task, and lets functions compose: a
Basic credential no longer needs its base64 computed by hand. The strict
expansion this replaces was already gone, so nothing is lost by the
switch.
Only functions resolve — the configuration file is read before any
Taskfile, so {{.VAR}} has nothing to read and produces an empty header.
That is documented next to the option.
map[string]map[string]string named neither key. The type already existed
in taskfile; package task reaches it through setup.go, so only an import
was missing. Callers keep passing a plain map literal, which stays
assignable to a named map type.
RemoteExists treated every non-200 as an absent file, so a server
refusing the credentials ended up as "No Taskfile found", sending the
user to check the URL rather than the token. A 401 now stops the search
and reports the status code; the default names need the same credentials,
so trying them would only add rejected requests. A 403 is left alone: it
is also what a server without directory listing answers for a readable
directory.
That message being correct, the expansion no longer needs to refuse an
undefined variable: os.ExpandEnv is inlined and expandEnv is gone. The
`$$` escape goes with it, so a literal value can no longer hold a `$`
followed by a name; a secret carried in an environment variable is
unaffected, as os.Expand never rescans what it substituted.
Header names are validated with httpguts.ValidHeaderFieldName, the table
net/http itself uses, rather than a denylist that let X-Foo(bar) through.
golang.org/x/net was already in the module graph, so tidy only moves it
to the direct block.
Finally, node_http_auth.go becomes http_auth.go: the node_ prefix is for
files defining a Node type, and this one holds the auth concern of
HTTPNode plus hostMatches, which reader.go uses for trusted hosts.
Authenticating a remote Taskfile so far meant putting the credential in the
include URL, where it leaks into error messages and the confirmation prompt.
`remote.auth` configures free-form headers per host instead, so the URL stays
safe to commit. Values may reference environment variables with ${VAR}.
The headers are injected by a RoundTripper rather than set on the request:
that covers the HEAD probe RemoteExists issues before the GET, and keeps a
cross-host redirect from carrying the credentials. They are resolved when the
request is about to be made, so a cached or offline run does not require a
token it will never send.
