Michael Paquier fc579e11c6 Refactor regular expression handling in hba.c
AuthToken gains a regular expression, and IdentLine is changed so as it
uses an AuthToken rather than tracking separately the ident user string
used for the regex compilation and its generated regex_t.  In the case
of pg_ident.conf, a set of AuthTokens is built in the pre-parsing phase
of the file, and an extra regular expression is compiled when building
the list of IdentLines, after checking the sanity of the fields in a
pre-parsed entry.

The logic in charge of computing and executing regular expressions is
now done in a new set of routines called respectively
regcomp_auth_token() and regexec_auth_token() that are wrappers around
pg_regcomp() and pg_regexec(), working on AuthTokens.  While on it, this
patch adds a routine able to free an AuthToken, free_auth_token(), to
simplify a bit the logic around the requirement of using a specific free
routine for computed regular expressions.  Note that there are no
functional or behavior changes introduced by this commit.

The goal of this patch is to ease the use of regular expressions with
more items of pg_hba.conf (user list, database list, potentially
hostnames) where AuthTokens are used extensively.  This will be tackled
later in a separate patch.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
