All sasl_* are passed as-is to SASL for processing, so we cannot do much
more than:

1. Say exactly that in the cyrus imap manpage and docs and point to the
relevant sasl manpages and docs

2. Write the relevant SASL manpages and send it upstream, AFAIK all the docs
on that stuff are in a single html file in the sasl documentation.

It is definately NOT the job of cyrus imapd to documet any sasl_ stuff in
manpages.
