This makes me happy :D

I took a look over, it looks good. One question on the initdb.c diff:

-       if (strcmp(authmethodlocal, "scram-sha-256") == 0 ||
-               strcmp(authmethodhost, "scram-sha-256") == 0)
-       {
-               conflines = replace_token(conflines,
-                                                                 
"#password_encryption = md5",
-                                                                 
"password_encryption = scram-sha-256");
-       }
-

Would we reverse this, i.e. if someone chooses authmethodlocal to be
"md5", we would then set "password_encryption = md5"?

Thanks,

Jonathan
