[PATCH 1/2] modifying erc-login to conditionally send appropriate CAP request for SASL

[Joseph Gay]

Submitted for your approval. I will need forms for copyright assignment.

This adds support for SASL PLAIN authentication. Freenode, for example,
requires SASL when connecting over TOR and when using the AT&T mobile
network.
