Description

Found this issue while working on PROTON-522 as per this comment the short version of which is:

Ran into some trouble with cyrus-sasl after seeing that the go TestAuthPlain failed for both "Unix Makefiles" and "Xcode", in this case 7.3.1. Found that the plugins do not get loaded on OSX due to sasl_client_init(NULL) but rectified with sasl_client_init(pni_user_password_callbacks).

The issue with the go-test TestAuthPlain was addressed via PROTON-1655, however the work for PROTON-522 does not include the above update as testing the update was not complete.
