Fix the SOCKS5 CHAP authentication to parse several messages if they are read at in the intial read. This allows us to accept the CHALLENGE attrib in a different message than the ALGORITHMS attrib since the IETF draft is somewhat ambiguous about this. Also include some additional debugging output for the CHAP processing. Thanks to Jonathan Rudolph ("simple" on IRC) for debugging.
