[dev] Accomodating Horde Suite for new cyrus-2.2.*

[Marc Jauvin]

Yeah, I have used this in the past, but the pam_mysql has two problems:

   - there is a memory leak which end-up consuming ALL available memory
     (unless you fork a saslauthd process for every connection)

   - the queries to mysql are not as flexible as the SQL sasl_auxprop plugin.


The patch I created allow the password to be encrypted in the database. 
The type
has to be provided as "{crypt}encrypted_password_here"

There is more work needed to add more encryption type, but it works great for
type=crypt.

Thanks.
