Thanks!

Since not everyone agrees with this approach, I split this patch into 
two. The first patch refactors things, replacing the isMD5() function 
with get_password_type(), without changing the representation of 
pg_authid.rolpassword. That is hopefully uncontroversial. And the second 
patch adds the "plain:" prefix, which not everyone agrees on.

Barring objections I'm going to at least commit the first patch. I think 
we should commit the second one too, but it's not as critical, and the 
first patch matters more for the SCRAM patch, too.
