 Added a HTTP backend for the authentication mechanism `scram`.
+
+Note: This is not an implementation of the RFC 7804: Salted Challenge Response HTTP Authentication Mechanism.
+
+This backend is an implementation of scram that uses an external web resource as a source of SCRAM authentication data, including stored key of the client, server key, and the salt. It support other authentication and authorization extension fields like HTTP auth backend, namely: `is_superuser`, `client_attrs`, `expire_at` and `acl`.
