SASL External

Can you add support for SASL external (rfc 4422)?

How is this an improvement over SASL with PLAIN over a TLS connection?

SASL External hard fails without TLS. It's part of the IRCv3 standard and you can use znc certauth. Additionally, you need SASL External to access some networks.
