#11060: socks-extensions.txt says username/password are ignored

 In torspec's socks-extensions.txt, we say
 {{{
     and as of Tor 0.2.3.2-alpha, the "USERNAME/PASSWORD" (SOCKS5)
     authentication method [02] is supported too. Any credentials passed to
     the latter are ignored.
 }}}

 But don't we use them for stream isolation now?

 Also (hit-and-run two-bugs-in-one-ticket faux pas, sorry), the Tor man
 page says:
 {{{
            IsolateSOCKSAuth
                Don’t share circuits with streams for which different SOCKS
                authentication was provided. (On by default; you can
 disable it
                with NoIsolateSOCKSAuth.)
 }}}
 which makes it sound like we look at SOCKS4 username too -- maybe we
 should change SOCKS to SOCKS5 in this man page stanza?
