imap/pop3/smtp: Added support for SASL authentication downgrades

Added support for downgrading the SASL authentication mechanism when the
decoding of CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM messages fails. This enhances
the previously added support for graceful cancellation by allowing the
client to retry a lesser SASL mechanism such as LOGIN or PLAIN, or even
APOP / clear text (in the case of POP3 and IMAP) when supported by the
server.
