Client

- Renamed `authenticate(string username, string password)` to `authenticate_impl(string username, string password)`
- Implemented `authenticate(string username, string password)` (Still a work-in-progress)

Client (unitests)

- Updated unittest for auth testing
- Authenticate before sending a message
