Subject: [PATCH] pg_upgrade: document possible pg_hba.conf options Previously,
pg_upgrade docs recommended using .pgpass if using MD5 authentication to
avoid being prompted for a password. Turns out pg_ctl never prompts for a
password, so MD5 requires .pgpass --- document that. Also recommend 'peer'
for authentication too. Backpatch back to 9.1.
