* An MD5 digest is used if supported by the frontend.

/** Check authorization for a resource
*
* This function looks for the file SANE_CONFIG_DIR/backend.users.
* If this file doesn't exist, sanei_authorize always returns SANE_STATUS_GOOD.
* The file backend.users contains a list of usernames, passwords, and
* resources:
*
* username:password:resource
* username:password:resource
*
* If the requested resource isn't listed in this file, sanei_authorize
* return SANE_SATUS_GOOD. In all other cases, sanei_authorize sends a
* challenge to the frontend of the form
*
* resource$MD5$randomstring
*
* where randomstring consists of the PID, the time, and some random
* characters. It accepts two forms of answers
*
* std: username:password
* md5: username:$MD5$m5digest
*
* where md5digest is md5(randomstring password).
*
* If this username/password/resource triple is listed in backend.users
* sanei_authorize returns SANE_STATUS_GOOD, in all other cases it returns
* SANE_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.
*
* @param resource resource to authorize
* @param backend backend name
* @param authorize auth callback
*
* @return
* - SANE_STATUS_GOOD - access is granted
* - SANE_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED - access is denied
