Steve Holme 7c469fa537 sasl: Implement SASL authorisation identity via CURLOPT_SASL_AUTHZID
Added the ability for the calling program to specify the authorisation
identity (authzid), the identity to act as, in addition to the
authentication identity (authcid) and password when using SASL PLAIN
authentication.

Fixes #3653
Closes #3790

NOTE: This commit was cherry-picked and is part of a series of commits
that added the authzid feature for upcoming 7.66.0. The series was
temporarily reverted in db8ec1f so that it would not ship in a 7.65.x
patch release.

Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/4186

.SH NAME
CURLOPT_SASL_AUTHZID \- authorisation identity (identity to act as)
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SASL_AUTHZID, char *authzid);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a char * as parameter, which should be pointing to the zero terminated
authorisation identity (authzid) for the transfer. Only applicable to the PLAIN
SASL authentication mechanism where it is optional.
When not specified only the authentication identity (authcid) as specified by
the username will be sent to the server, along with the password. The server
will derive a authzid from the authcid when not provided, which it will then
uses internally.
When the authzid is specified, the use of which is server dependent, it can be
used to access another user's inbox, that the user has been granted access to,
or a shared mailbox for example.
