WL#15623: Improve the authentication module

Currently, the authentication module has a minimal role in the overall authentication phase which simply consists in providing the `get_auth_plugin()` method which returns an authentication class given the authentication name and, optionally, the authentication class itself. Finally, the returned authentication class is used by the connection object to carry out the corresponding authentication. With this code distribution, the connection object is fully responsible of the auth phase, this contributes, among other things, to make the connection implementation a monolith. The goal of this WL is to take the authentication load away from the connection object by creating a new service responsible for handling the authentication stage. We name this new agent `MySQLAuthenticator` and place it in the authentication module. With this change, the authentication flow looks as follows assuming `MySQLConnection` has an attribute that points to a `MySQLAuthenticator` instance: - `MySQLAuthenticator` receives auth-related data from `MySQLConnection`. - `MySQLAuthenticator` performs the auth according to the provided data. - `MySQLAuthenticator` returns an okay packet or raises an error. - `MySQLConnection` handles the okay packet completing the auth phase.
