Michael Paquier a282697088 Remove code in charge of freeing regexps generation by Lab.c
bea3d7e has redesigned the regexp engine so as all the allocations go
through palloc() with a dedicated memory context.  hba.c had to cope
with the past memory management logic by going through all the HBA and
ident lines generated, then directly free all the regexps found in
AuthTokens to ensure that no leaks would happen.  Such leaks could
happen for example in the postmaster after a SIGHUP, in the event of
an HBA and/or ident reload failure where all the new content parsed must
be discarded, including all the regexps that may have been compiled.

Now that regexps are palloc()'d in their own memory context,
MemoryContextDelete() is enough to ensure that all the compiled regexps
are properly gone.  Simplifying this logic in hba.c has the effect to
only remove code.  Most of it is new in v16, except the part for regexps
compiled in ident entries for the system username, so doing this cleanup
now rather than when v17 opens for business will reduce future diffs
with the upcoming REL_16_STABLE.

Some comments were incorrect since bea3d7e, now fixed to reflect the
reality.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
