Overhaul pg_hba.conf clientcert's API

Since PG 12, clientcert no longer supported only on/off, so remove 1/0
as possible values, and instead support only the text strings
'verify-ca' and 'verify-full'.

Remove support for 'no-verify' since that is possible by just not
specifying clientcert.

Also, throw an error if 'verify-ca' is used and 'cert' authentication is
used, since cert authentication requires verify-full.

Also improve the docs.

THIS IS A BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE.
