Message Bus gateway MQTT transport username/password

The MQTT transport for Message Bus gateway only allows for anonymous connections to an MQTT server. If connection is to a RabbitMQ server, an anonymous connection is usually only allowed from a localhost for security reasons. The transport module should allow for a username/password authentication for MQTT servers that have this setup. This provides better security for connections between the gateway and an MQTT server.
