A backslash at the end of a line now causes the next line to be appended to the current one (effectively, the backslash and newline are discarded). This allows long HBA entries to be created without legibility problems. While we're here, get rid of the former hard-wired length limit on pg_hba.conf lines, by using an expansible StringInfo buffer instead of a fixed-size local variable. Since the same code is used to read the ident map file, these changes apply there as well.
