Tom Lane 54fbd155cc Doc: add a short summary of available authentication methods.
The "auth-methods" <sect1> used to include descriptions of all our
authentication methods.  Commit 56811e573 promoted its child <sect2>'s
to <sect1>'s, which has advantages but also created some issues:
* The auth-methods page itself is essentially empty/useless.
* Links that pointed to "auth-methods" as a placeholder for all
auth methods were rendered a bit nonsensical.
* DocBook no longer provides a subsection table-of-contents here,
which formerly was a useful if terse summary of available auth methods.

To improve matters, add a handwritten list of all the auth methods.

Per gripe from Dave Cramer.  Back-patch to v11 where the previous
commit came in.
