CRAM-MD5 authentication mishandles non-ASCII secret bytes

[OskarEichler]

Problem

CRAM-MD5 authentication combines protocol challenges and credentials using their external Ruby encodings. Valid non-ASCII credential bytes can raise encoding errors or produce a digest over transcoded rather than exact protocol bytes.

Prepared atomic commit 2feb08051400a55ba11d74d0023f53ed688d6e5f performs HMAC input/key handling on binary views while preserving caller strings. Dual-Ruby vectors cover ASCII, UTF-8 and arbitrary byte keys/challenges and pass with the full suite. No repository tests were modified.

@OskarEichler Please proofread your bot's issues and PRs before submitting them. If you wouldn't submit it as a human, you shouldn't let your bots do it on your behalf.

What I'm specifically referring to here is this: "Prepared atomic commit ....". If you've prepared an atomic commit, where is that commit?! This should've been a PR, not an issue (or at least an issue with a linked PR)!

Or "No repository tests were modified." Of course no tests were modified... because this is an issue, not a PR!
