Add new clientcert hba option verify-full

This allows a login to require both that the cn of the certificate
matches (like authentication type cert) *and* that another
authentication method (such as password or kerberos) succeeds as well.

The old value of clientcert=1 maps to the new clientcert=verify-ca,
clientcert=0 maps to the new clientcert=no-verify, and the new option
erify-full will add the validation of the CN.
