Add BSD authentication method.

Create a "bsd" auth method that works the same as "password" so far as
clients are concerned, but calls the BSD Authentication service to
check the password.  This is currently only available on OpenBSD.

+   
+    This authentication method operates similarly to
+    password except that it uses BSD Authentication
+    to verify the password. BSD Authentication is used only
+    to validate user name/password pairs. Therefore the user's role must
+    already exist in the database before BSD Authentication can be used
+    for authentication. The BSD Authentication framework is currently
+    only available on OpenBSD.
+   
+
+   
+    BSD Authentication in PostgreSQL uses
+    the auth-postgresql login type and authenticates with
+    the postgresql login class if that's defined
+    in login.conf. By default that login class does not
+    exist, and PostgreSQL will use the default login class.
+   
+
+   
+    
+     To use BSD Authentication, the PostgreSQL user account (that is, the
+     operating system user running the server) must first be added to
+     the auth group.  The auth group
+     exists by default on OpenBSD systems.
