Needs documentation for '.netrc' support

See original GitHub issue

Environment

pip version: >= 9.0
Python version: all
OS: all

Description The only mention of the existing support for loading credentials from a ~/.netrc file seems to be this mention in NEWS.rst:

https://github.com/pypa/pip/blame/53ee380d95b49a66c87eea6bda41b1c1fef7c600/NEWS.rst#L866

Expected behavior Docs should be added about how this works, what is necessary to trigger loading creds from .netrc, when it’s not used, etc.
