Quakenet: Use HMAC-SHA-256 in challenge auth #18

LEGACY-MD5 is deprecated and the server will complain if it's used.

@Gramner Can you give me short instructions how I can test this is working properly? (I guess some sort of output in the server status?)

Gramner commented 3 years ago

The prerequisite is having a Q account on Quakenet, and having entered the account information in the QuakeNet settings panel in nbs-irc, with Use challenge auth (more secure) selected.

If it's working properly the server status window should have the following printed:

›› sending auth challenge (<authnick>)
›› received key, sending auth.
›› [Q]: You are now logged in as <authnick>.
