Password (possibly encrypted); null if none. If the password is
encrypted, this column will contain the string <literal>md5</> followed by a
32-character hexadecimal MD5 hash. The MD5 hash will be of the
user's password concatenated to their username (for example, if
user joe has password xyzzy, <productname>PostgreSQL</> will store
the md5 hash of xyzzyjoe).
