Although we created an enum for pause modes to make 5.x binary
compatible with 5.0, the enum value is not well named.
In 5.1, we propose to add PauseOnProxyAuthentication to the enum.
PauseOnNotify is not clear what it means, while PauseOnSslErrors is.

Any new notification in a minor release would need a new enum value
otherwise applications would get pauses they did not expect.

This is a new API in 5.0 so the change would be source incompatible with the alpha release, but not with any 4.x releases.
