Add SASL PLAIN authentication method
- this method isn't as deprecated as IMAP LOGIN; - it allows to keep hashed passwords on the server side; - it has the ability to specify that the remote identity is different from authenticating username, so it even can be useful in some cases (e.g., migrated mailboxes); configuration variable "remote_identity" was introduced to leverage this functionality.
