HTTP Basic Authentication must add a "WWW-Authenticate" header on unauthorized requests.

Some clients (i.e. lynx) will not work properly without this.

This patch uses hook_rest_server_execute_errors_alter() which was introduced in the services module version 3.3 and will have no
effect on versions prior to this (but won't harm either).

The hook should probably be implemented in the .module file and not in .inc file. Otherwise no changes.
