Subject: [PATCH v21 2/2] Allow file inclusion in pg_hba and pg_ident files.

pg_hba.conf file now has support for "include", "include_dir" and
"include_if_exists" directives, which work similarly to the same directives in
the postgresql.conf file.

Many regression tests added to cover both the new directives, but also error
detection for the whole pg_hba / pg_ident files.

Catversion is bumped.
