SCRAM-SHA-256 SASL Mechanism Handler

The SCRAM-SHA-256 SASL mechanism performs all processing related to SASL SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication.

The SCRAM-SHA-256 SASL mechanism is defined in RFCs 5802 and 7677 and replaces the deprecated CRAM-MD5 and DIGEST-MD5 mechanisms. It is a cost-based password authentication approach, similar to PBKDF2, with the important difference that the computational effort is delegated to the client applications. This mechanism can only be used in conjunction with the SCRAM-SHA-256 password storage scheme.
