Add a BitBucket host provider about git-credential-manager

Fantastic you've merged this.

I was playing with this myself. While it worked I've never had the time to polish it.

I have a GUI component written in Avalonia that works cross platform as well

FWIW running this on Windows for Bitbucket the OAuth success page isn't being displayed.

Hi @mminns,

It's awesome to see interest in getting Bitbucket into GCM Core 😃
Looks like we've duplicated a lot of work here, which is a shame 😢

This sounds like an interesting path forward for x-plat UI. I've never really used or explored much with Avalonia before. I assume Avalonia is pretty stable and somewhat compatible with existing WPF-flavoured XAML?

As you can see from #116 I'm in the process of getting a WPF/Windows only UI in for Bitbucket, based on the GCM for Windows version but with updated iconography and colours. I wonder if we can port that to Avalonia?

FWIW running this on Windows for Bitbucket the OAuth success page isn't being displayed.

Oh! I've never see "the connection was reset" before. Were you debugging when the OAuth redirect happened? I seem to remember some issues with timeouts if the browser connected to the localhost port but the 'server' didn't respond in a timely fashion.

For me:

Is this easily reproducible for you? Can you see any exceptions being thrown or caught in the GCM Core OAuth stack?

Morning, don't worry about the duplication. Part of the reason I did it was to force myself to learn more about x-platform development with DotNet Core and I did that. 👍

Apologies for not providing more context on the success page error, it was late-ish on Friday. I'll dig a bit deeper this week.

re: The Avalonia GUI.
I wonder if it makes sense for you to go ahead and compete the windows UI as planned at this time rather than looking to switch to Avalonia.
I could look at polishing my Avalonia implementation to mirror the revised theme/branding/layout you are using. The Avalonia implementation would then have some initial use as a drop in complimentary UI on macOS/Linux, independent of the official GCMC releases. Especially if I could come up with some kind of suitable installer. Then once it is a stable, proven component it could be reviewed as a possible replacement for the windows UI ?

No worries! If you do find some issue it'd be great if you could raise an issue. The OAuth stack is shared between the GitHub and Bitbucket providers so anything to make it more robust is a big win for everyone.

Sure thing!

[re: Avalonia GUI] Then once it is a stable, proven component it could be reviewed as a possible replacement for the windows UI ?

Absolutely. I'd be very much open to replacing any Windows-only UI with a suitable x-plat replacement. As you've seen GCM Core introduced the notion of out-out-proc "auth UI helpers". Glancing over your host provider implementation I see you've introduced an environment variable (GCM_GUI_HELPER_PATHS) for a search path of external helpers; I like this idea. I've created an issue here to add upstream support for this #119 but there might be some issues to address.
