Consider passing credentials in catalog_publish

[vsevel]

our maven registry is protected. we have to pass some authentication.
it would be nice if catalog_publish did support it.

the way we use the script today is to deploy the platform from a dev machine with platforms/quarkus-bom.yaml is with a local repo:

---
maven-repository:
# FIXME unable to set credentials
# - https://myhost/artifactory/lodh-maven-dev/
- file:////.../maven-local-repo-artifactory/
...

relevant issue - @gastaldi if we start having this used by others we really should have this be more as an actual documented feature/jar rather than as a mutating script in this repo ?

That's something worth considering. Perhaps we could move this to the Quarkus CLI as an installable CLI extension
