    Parse pg_ident.conf when it's loaded, keeping it in memory in parsed format. · 7c45e3a3

    Similar changes were done to pg_hba.conf earlier already, this commit makes
    pg_ident.conf to behave the same as pg_hba.conf.
    
    This has two user-visible effects. First, if pg_ident.conf contains multiple
    errors, the whole file is parsed at postmaster startup time and all the
    errors are immediately reported. Before this patch, the file was parsed and
    the errors were reported only when someone tries to connect using an
    authentication method that uses the file, and the parsing stopped on first
    error. Second, if you SIGHUP to reload the config files, and the new
    pg_ident.conf file contains an error, the error is logged but the old file
    stays in effect.
    
    Also, regular expressions in pg_ident.conf are now compiled only once when
    the file is loaded, rather than every time the a user is authenticated. That
    should speed up authentication if you have a lot of regexps in the file.
