    Doc: add a short summary of available authentication methods. · 54fbd155
    Tom Lane authored
    The "auth-methods" <sect1> used to include descriptions of all our
    authentication methods.  Commit 56811e57 promoted its child <sect2>'s
    to <sect1>'s, which has advantages but also created some issues:
    * The auth-methods page itself is essentially empty/useless.
    * Links that pointed to "auth-methods" as a placeholder for all
    auth methods were rendered a bit nonsensical.
    * DocBook no longer provides a subsection table-of-contents here,
    which formerly was a useful if terse summary of available auth methods.
    
    To improve matters, add a handwritten list of all the auth methods.
    
    Per gripe from Dave Cramer.  Back-patch to v11 where the previous
    commit came in.
