[Bug 1987992] [NEW] autofs: Missing support of SCRAM for SASL binds

[rdratlos]

Public bug reported:

Most directory services now support the more secure Salted Challenge
Response Authentication Mechanismis (SCRAM) for SASL binding (RFC 5802).
But automount user cannot request use of SCRAM, as automount does not
read user and password credentials for SCRAM mechanisms.

For sys admins that do not want to implement Kerberos based
authentication to their directory service using GSSAPI need to rely on
DIGEST-MD5, which is regarded as insecure.
