FBManager: auth plugin support

[EPluribusUnum]

Hi Mark!

Currently you can't create database via FBManager with Legacy_Auth, there is no auth plugin support on the class.
(And there is no way "hook in", everything is private in FBManager, can't add plugin support via extends)

Workaround : directly use FbDatabaseFactory and FbConnectionProperties

Thank you!

FYI - there are plans to remove Legacy_Auth from FB6 distro.

Since Jaybird 6, you can also use the createDatabaseIfNotExist property using JDBC (see https://firebirdsql.org/docs/drivers/java/6.0.x/release_notes.html#create-database-if-not-exist). That said, I'll fix it; it looks like this API can use a broader overhaul so other things can be configured as well.

That said, I don't see a good reason why you would still be using legacy_auth.

To be backported to v5 and v6 as well.
