Track behavior of \1 in pg_ident.conf when quoted
Entries of pg-user in pg_ident.conf that are quoted and include '\1' allow a replacement from a subexpression in a system user regexp. This commit adds a test to track this behavior and a note in the documentation, as it could be affected by the use of an AuthToken for the pg-user in the IdentLines parsed. This subject has come up in the discussion aimed at extending the support of pg-user in ident entries for more patterns.
