This one is from 9afffcb833d3c5e59a328a2af674fac7e7334fc1 (adding

And it makes sense to give warning on that. AuthMethod is an enum. It
can by definition not have a value that's not in the enum. That check
simply seems wrong/unnecessary.
The only other use fo USER_AUTH_LAST is in fill_hba_line() which also
gets the name of the auth. That one uses :
StaticAssertStmt(lengthof(UserAuthName) == USER_AUTH_LAST + 1,
"UserAuthName[] must match the UserAuth enum");
Which seems like a more reasonable check.
But that also highlights -- shouldn't that function then also be made
to use hba_authname(), and the assert moved into the function? That
seems like the cleanest way?
