Michael Paquier cbe6e482d7 Add TAP tests for include directives in HBA end ident files
This commit adds a basic set of authentication tests to check after the
new keywords added by a54b658 for the HBA and ident files, aka
"include", "include_if_exists" and "include_dir".

This includes checks for all the positive cases originally proposed,
where valid contents are generated for the HBA and ident files without
any errors happening in the server, checking as well the contents of
their respective system views.  The error handling will be evaluated
separately (-DEXEC_BACKEND makes that trickier), and what we have here
covers most of the ground I would like to see covered if one manipulates
the tokenization logic of hba.c in the future.

While on it, some coverage is added for files included with '@' for
database or user name lists.

Regression tests for authentication
===================================

This directory contains a test suite for authentication. SSL certificate
authentication tests are kept separate, in src/test/ssl/, because they
are more complicated, and are not safe to run in a multi-user system.


Running the tests
=================

NOTE: You must have given the --enable-tap-tests argument to configure.

Run
    make check
or
    make installcheck
You can use "make installcheck" if you previously did "make install".
In that case, the code in the installation tree is tested.  With
"make check", a temporary installation tree is built from the current
sources and then tested.

Either way, this test initializes, starts, and stops a test Postgres
cluster.

See src/test/perl/README for more info about running these tests.
