The changes from local arrays to dynamic allocation appear to introduce
significant complexity. I would reconsider that. If we consider your

then the obvious fix there is to change the definition of SCRAM_KEY_LEN
to PG_SHA512_DIGEST_LENGTH, which would be a much smaller and simpler
change. We don't have to support arbitrary key sizes, so a fixed-size
array seems appropriate.
