Description

SASL PLAIN is a simple authentication flow that needs to be done before registering a connection. This works on networks like Libera.Chat.

Downstream implementation here using an `expect()` flow: https://github.com/hifi/heisenbridge/blob/master/heisenbridge/irc.py#L122

Depends on #189 to be fixed first.

Research direction

Review the downstream expect() implementation in heisenbridge/irc.py#L122 and inspect the changes required by dependency #189 first. Done means SASL PLAIN authentication completes before the connection is registered, including the expected flow for networks such as Libera.Chat.
