⚗️ ♻️ Add experimental SASL::ClientAdapter

_The API is **experimental.**_

TODO: catch exceptions in #process and send #cancel_string.
TODO: raise an error if the command succeeds after being canceled.
TODO: use with more clients, to verify the API can accommodate them.

An abstract base class for executing a SASL authentication exchange for
a client.  Subclasses works as an adapter for a protocol and a client
implementation of that protocol.

Call `#authenticate` to execute an authentication exchange for `#client`
using `#authenticator`.  Authentication failures will raise an
exception.  Any exceptions other than those in RESPONSE_ERRORs will also
drop the connection.

Methods for subclasses to override are all documented as `protected`.
At the very least, subclasses must provide an override (or a block) for
`#send_command_with_continuations`.  Client-specific overrides may also
be needed for `RESPONSE_ERRORS`, `#supports_initial_response?`,
`#supports_mechanism?`, `#handle_incomplete`, or `#drop_connection`.
