mod_sasl2_fast: Restore non-FAST SASL handler upon reset This fixes an issue where, after failed FAST authentication, the FAST handler was still used (even though the client now wants to try with a password or other non-FAST credentials). A little hacky perhaps, but probably the best we can do without baking FAST support directly into mod_sasl2.
