This implements sending AUTH_PENDING and INFO_PRE messages to clients
that indicate that the clients should be continue authentication with
a second factor. This can currently be out of band (openurl) or a normal
challenge/response 2FA like TOTP (CR_TEXT).

Code and management notes looks reasonable.  But again, it would be good to
have a way to test this properly to avoid regressions later on.  Since this is
also a more advanced authentication method, having good test methods is even
more critical.

Writing a complete framework to test management interface on the server
side is something that would a huge undertaking for this simple patch.

I think Access Server is basically the only software that I am aware of
that really uses the server side management interface.

So basically having this requirement right now of writing a testing
suite to get this into OpenVPN will mean that we will effectively fork
OpenVPN for AS.

Can we settle on a single CR_TEXT vs CRTEXT terminology?  The 3/5 patch used
crtext in the documentation but cr_text in the commit message.

I think we should use a different naming for this than 'sso'.  This is not
tied to only SSO (Single Sign-On).  What about:

 - client-extended-auth
 - client-external-auth
 - client-ext-auth
 - client-additional-auth
 - client-xauth

As long as the name is quite generic, I'm fine with most alternatives.  But it
should be very generic.  We have so many alternative auth methods these days:
Yubico OTP [1], TOTP/HOTP, FIDO/U2F, SAML, OAuth, Kerberos/GSSAPI, etc ...

Several of the function names also uses 'sso', which should be aligned to a
non-sso specific function name.

Another alternative popped up in my head, as CR/Challenge-Response is used a
lot in this context .... client-cr-auth  .... but all of them are just
suggestions to avoid the 'sso' reference.

+1 on avoiding the 'sso' reference  - this has nothing to do with 
SSO/SAML/OAuth/OpenID etc etc and I think it would be unwise to suggest 
that OpenVPN does something like "that" kind of SSO auth. Before we know 
it users will start asking how they can link their Hotmail, FB or Google 
account to their OpenVPN config....
