This change eliminates the external pure-sasl dependency which has been unmaintained since 2019 (addresses #666). The implementation provides: - Internal SASL client in cassandra/sasl.py based on pure-sasl (MIT licensed) - Full PLAIN mechanism support for username/password authentication - Full GSSAPI mechanism support for Kerberos authentication with QOP negotiation - Platform-aware kerberos library selection (kerberos/winkerberos) The internal implementation maintains API compatibility with existing code while removing the risk of depending on an unmaintained external library.
