SASL Authentication

[Havoc Pennington]

Hi,

A practical note - be sure you're using CVS from
pdx.freedesktop.org/anoncvs.freedesktop.org which is the new dbus home,
rather than www.freedesktop.org. Also the dbus-object-names branch
contains most of the recent changes and will land on HEAD soon.

Probably _dbus_auth_set_whatever() similar to set_credentials()

Probably, or have all_mechanisms be the list of builtin mechanisms and
merge it in to a dynamic per-DBusAuth list.

A simple solution is to free this list once authentication is complete.
