Magnus Hagander b09f930d2e Add hba parameter include_realm to krb5, gss and sspi authentication, used
to pass the full username@realm string to the authentication instead of
just the username. This makes it possible to use pg_ident.conf to authenticate
users from multiple realms as different database users.
