🔒 Clarify usage of username vs authcid vs authzid
Different SASL mechanisms use the term "username" differently. In general the pattern seems to be the following: * Some mechanisms avoid using the term `username` at all, and instead use the terms Authentication Identity (`authcid`) and Authorization Identity (`authzid`). * Older or non-standard mechanisms may not distinguish clearly between `authcid` and `authzid`. `username` may be semantically equivalent to `authcid`, `authzid`, or both. * When the mechanism supports an explicit `authcid` and an `authzid`, `username` commonly refers to the `authcid`. * When the authentication identity is derived from other credentials, `username` commonly refers to the `authzid`. Every mechanism's keyword arguments, positional arguments, and documentation is updated to match this terminology. Aliases have been added from `username` to `authcid` or `authzid`—or in the other direction, from `authcid` or `authzd` to `username`.
