Friends of the Necko team

Glenn Strauss submitted a patch a while ago adding support for SHA-256
Digest authentication <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472823>.
Because the code touched by the patch was quite old this caused us to do a
refactoring of the authentication code to bring it closer to the Mozilla
coding guidelines
<https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/code-quality/coding-style/coding_style_cpp.html>
and add better tests.

Ping Chen (:rnons) fixed Bug 1717185 - TCPSocket.send incorrectly returns
