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.
