pg_upgrade: document possible pg_hba.conf options

Browse Source 
Previously, pg_upgrade docs recommended using .pgpass if using MD5
authentication to avoid being prompted for a password.  Turns out pg_ctl
never prompts for a password, so MD5 requires .pgpass --- document that.
Also recommend 'peer' for authentication too.
Backpatch back to 9.1.
