Fix GH-11438: mysqlnd fails to authenticate with sha256_password accounts using passwords longer than 19 characters

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/mysql-server/latest/page_caching_sha2_authentication_exchanges.html
tells us that the nonce used in this authentication method is 20 bytes
long. However, we might receive additional scramble data in
php_mysqlnd_greet_read not used in this method.
On my test setup, I received 21 bytes (20 bytes + '\0'). This resulted
in the xor computation to incorrectly include the NUL byte. Every
password of at least 20 characters therefore failed to authenticate
using this method.

Looking at mysql-server source code also seems to reveal that it always
uses a fixed number of scramble bytes [1].

Closes GH-11445.
