Fiona-todo: update http collector to add a link to this page

Overview
HTTP collectors sometimes need to provide authentication to an external site. In order to provide a username and/or password securely, you can use a public alias or key to point to an encrypted username/password. This is usually in a secure tool such as a keystore.
In the HTTP collector expression, specify the public alias. PhixFlow then finds the secure credentials in the keystore and provides them to authenticate to the external site.
