Introduce SYSTEM_USER

SYSTEM_USER is a reserved keyword of the SQL specification that,
roughly described, is aimed at reporting some information about the
system user who has connected to the database server.  It may include
implementation-specific information about the means by the user
connected, like an authentication method.

This commit implements SYSTEM_USER as of auth_method:identity, where
"auth_method" is a keyword about the authentication method used to log
into the server (like peer, md5, scram-sha-256, gss, etc.) and
"identity" is the authentication identity as introduced by 9afffcb (peer
sets authn to the OS user name, gss to the user principal, etc.).  This
format has been suggested by Tom Lane.

Note that thanks to d951052, SYSTEM_USER is available to parallel
workers.

Returns the authentication method and the identity (if any) that the
user presented during the authentication cycle before they were
assigned a database role. It is represented as
<literal>auth_method:identity</literal> or
<literal>NULL</literal> if the user has not been authenticated (for
