email: Added initial support for cancelling authentication

Should a client application fail to decode an authentication message
received from a server, or not support any of the parameters given by
the server in the message, then the authentication phrase should be
cancelled gracefully by the client rather than simply terminating the
connection.

The authentication phrase should be cancelled by simply sending a '*'
to the server, in response to erroneous data being received, as per
RFC-3501, RFC-4954 and RFC-5034.

This patch adds the necessary state machine constants and appropriate
response handlers in order to add this functionality for the CRAM-MD5,
DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM authentication mechanisms.
