Peter Eisentraut b4675a8ae2 Fix use of term "verifier"
Within the context of SCRAM, "verifier" has a specific meaning in the
protocol, per RFCs.  The existing code used "verifier" differently, to
mean whatever is or would be stored in pg_auth.rolpassword.

Fix this by using the term "secret" for this, following RFC 5803.

Regression tests for authentication
===================================

This directory contains a test suite for authentication. SSL certificate
authentication tests are kept separate, in src/test/ssl/, because they
are more complicated, and are not safe to run in a multi-user system.


Running the tests
=================

NOTE: You must have given the --enable-tap-tests argument to configure.

Run
    make check
or
    make installcheck
You can use "make installcheck" if you previously did "make install".
In that case, the code in the installation tree is tested.  With
"make check", a temporary installation tree is built from the current
sources and then tested.

Either way, this test initializes, starts, and stops a test Postgres
cluster.
