[WebDAV]:On Windows a registry setting is usually needed to make WebDAV work #1126

Describe the problem

Mapping the db as a network drive on Windows typically fails unless the Webclient service configuaration is changed using the registry. I think this should be added to the documentation.
To access the db through http://localhost:8080/exist/webdav/db/ basic authentication needs to be enabled by setting the value of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters\BasicAuthLevel to 2
While this information is relatively easy to find on the internet, new users might benefit from knowing this before trying to set up webDAV.
