### Bug description
nextcloudcmd doesn't fully respect the netrc specs:
1. it only knows about the `default` entry and ignores entries with the name of the server (neither `https://nextcloud.example.com` nor `nextcloud.example.com` do work).
2. the environment variable `NETRC` is being ignored
This makes it very difficult to synchronize more than one nextcloud server on the same machine, or to use the default ~/.netrc for anything else than nextcloud.
### Steps to reproduce
Create the file `~/.netrc` as:
```
default
login mylogin
password mypassword
```
Call `nextcloudcmd -n --trust --non-interactive --path /Documents ~/Documents/ https://nextcloud.example.com` and the synchronization succeeds.
Either:
1. replace `default` in the file with `nextcloud.example.com`
2. _or_ `mv .netrc mynetrc` and `export NETRC=~/mynetrc`
and exactly the same command fails with an `Host requires authentication` error. Revert the change, and the command works again.
### Expected behavior
The netrc specs should be fully supported and both modifications should lead to successful sync.
