[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Return an error when a disabled authentication mechanism is used (PR #4496)

[mmd]

Assuming we set `basic_auth_support: false`, an API user would see one of these two error messages:

* HTTP 403 HTTP Basic Authentication is disabled 
* HTTP 403 Couldn't authenticate you

I'm wondering if this makes much of a difference for a user, when they can't use Basic auth anyway and need to switch to OAuth 2. Tbh, I'm struggling a bit to see the benefit of checking whether the credentials are valid.
