pg_hba.conf and pg_ident.conf gain support for three record keywords:
- "include", to include a file.
- "include_if_exists", to include a file, ignoring it if missing.
- "include_dir", to include a directory of files. These are classified
by name (C locale, mostly) and need to be prefixed by ".conf", hence
following the same rules as GUCs.
This commit relies on the refactoring pieces done in efc9816, ad6c528,
783e8c6 and 1b73d0b, adding a small wrapper to build a list of
TokenizedAuthLines (tokenize_include_file), and the code is shaped to
offer some symmetry with what is done for GUCs with the same options.
pg_hba_file_rules and pg_ident_file_mappings gain a new field called
file_name, to track from which file a record is located, taking
advantage of the addition of rule_number in c591300 to offer an
organized view of the HBA or ident records loaded.
Bump catalog version.

Each record can be an include directive or an authentication record.
Include directives specify files that can be included, that contain
additional records. The records will be inserted in place of the
include records. These records only contain two fields:
<literal>include</literal>, <literal>include_if_exists</literal> or
<literal>include_dir</literal> directive and the file or directory to be
included. The file or directory can be a relative of absolute path, and can
be double-quoted. For the <literal>include_dir</literal> form, all files
not starting with a <literal>.</literal> and ending with
<literal>.conf</literal> will be included. Multiple files within an include
directory are processed in file name order (according to C locale rules,
i.e., numbers before letters, and uppercase letters before lowercase ones).
