Would we consider providing a documentation section explaining how to
change pg_hba.conf to trust, reload, change password, get back to saner
HBA if needed?

This question is a such a FAQ that it deserves a place in the docs, I
think. Is there a counter-argument (security based or anything) to add
this, maybe in the tutorial part, a new Authenticating section between
Architectural Fundamentals and Creating a Database?
