The old toggle only used to define whether sasl was required or not
(which it historically was once you enabled the sasl layer, and the
toggle was never implemented in proton-j), whereas IIRC the new
'requireAuth' governs that but also whether ANONYMOUS is allowed or
not when a SASL layer is used, is that correct? Given the older SASL
API means much of the SASL work including mechansim selection happens
outside/before proton-j and you get as far as making a connection,
isnt that going to be a bit of a pain to implement and use?

Might it be simpler to use allowSkip() until such time the wider SASL
API is actually implemented, keep the default behaviour as it was
previously (so people will be less likely to need to use the behaviour
toggle and less likely to care what it is called), and update
whichever reactor tests that needed the change to configure it that
way in the meantime?
