Fix SCRAM authentication via SSL when mixing versions of OpenSSL
When using a libpq client linked with OpenSSL 1.0.1 or older to connect
to a backend linked with OpenSSL 1.0.2 or newer, the server would send
SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS and SCRAM-SHA-256 as valid mechanisms for the SASL
exchange, and the client would choose SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS even if it does
not support channel binding, leading to a confusing error. In this
case, what the client ought to do is switch to SCRAM-SHA-256 so as the
authentication can move on and succeed.
So for a SCRAM authentication over SSL, here are all the cases present
and how we deal with them using libpq:
1) Server supports channel binding, it sends SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS and
SCRAM-SHA-256 as allowed mechanisms.
1-1) Client supports channel binding, chooses SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS.
1-2) Client does not support channel binding, chooses SCRAM-SHA-256.
2) Server does not support channel binding, sends SCRAM-SHA-256 as
allowed mechanism.
2-1) Client supports channel binding, still it has no choice but to
choose SCRAM-SHA-256.
2-2) Client does not support channel binding, it chooses SCRAM-SHA-256.
In all these scenarios the connection should succeed, and the one which
was handled incorrectly prior this commit is 1-2), causing the
connection attempt to fail because client chose SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS over
SCRAM-SHA-256.
