### Authentication Plugin System

The driver implements a pluggable authentication system that supports various authentication methods used by MySQL and MariaDB servers. The built-in authentication plugins include:

* `mysql_native_password` - The default MySQL authentication method
* `caching_sha2_password` - Default authentication method in MySQL 8.0+
* `mysql_clear_password` - Cleartext authentication (requires `allowCleartextPasswords=true`)
* `mysql_old_password` - Old MySQL authentication (requires `allowOldPasswords=true`)
* `sha256_password` - SHA256 authentication
* `client_ed25519` - MariaDB Ed25519 authentication
