Frontend Cache Credentials for Issue #659

[ZeshanFayyaz]

Some frontend exploration on #659

Added new interface IAuthWithCacheCredentials that extends IAuth that includes a new boolean that is implemented as a checkbox in CredentialsBox.tsx. and is used in commandsAndMenu.tsx as an additional argument.

When we push and clone we are expecting authentication.cacheCredentials (default False).

I would extend Git.IAuth with a new optional parameter cacheCredentials. This will allow you to simply pass-by those information through the model and then to the server. One reason for that is the strong bound between that parameter and the credentials; passing it as a separate argument as done currently would be interesting if it had an effect even if the authentication was not defined.
