mlNewProject fails in 4.5.0 when no authentication information exists

Ack - this is an unforeseen consequence of https://github.com/marklogic-community/ml-gradle/releases/tag/4.5.0 . In <= 4.4.0, ml-gradle was defaulting to admin/admin as username/password, which has never been good. But with those defaults in place, it was good enough for establishing a connection configuration (though no attempt is made to actually connect yet). We did a lot of testing on this change, but no testing where MarkLogic wasn't running.

You can work around this for now via gradle -PmlUsername= -PmlPassword= mlNewProject .

This is also a result of the connection to the Manage API being configured eagerly as opposed to lazily (it's always been made eagerly). Fix will be in ml-app-deployer, as it appears simple to lazily instantiate the connection, which is all done via private methods that are invisible to a client.

Fixed via ml-app-deployer, getting 4.5.1 out momentarily.
