Heikki Linnakangas e3df8f8b93 Improve authentication error messages.
Most of the improvements were in the new SCRAM code:

* In SCRAM protocol violation messages, use errdetail to provide the
  details.

* If pg_backend_random() fails, throw an ERROR rather than just LOG. We
  shouldn't continue authentication if we can't generate a random nonce.

* Use ereport() rather than elog() for the "invalid SCRAM verifier"
  messages. They shouldn't happen, if everything works, but it's not
  inconceivable that someone would have invalid scram verifiers in
  pg_authid, e.g. if a broken client application was used to generate the
  verifier.

But this change applied to old code:

* Use ERROR rather than COMMERROR for protocol violation errors. There's
  no reason to not tell the client what they did wrong. The client might be
  confused already, so that it cannot read and display the error correctly,
  but let's at least try. In the "invalid password packet size" case, we
  used to actually continue with authentication anyway, but that is now a
  hard error.

Patch by Michael Paquier and me. Thanks to Daniel Varrazzo for spotting
the typo in one of the messages that spurred the discussion and these
larger changes.

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
