IV_SSO=crtext is a basically the AUTH_PENDING variant of presenting the
user the text of CR_TEXT and responding with the answer.

What you doing seems to be different. And if we add something that is
different we should it its own IV_SSO flag to announce itself. And if
you need "just" a multiline or longer text than current crtext can give
to the user, we still need a flag for this new method, so we can signal
if the client supports this.

I am just asking that if we add new methods to AUTH_PENDING to properly
document them.
