libpq: Remove code for SCM credential authentication

Browse Source 
Support for SCM credential authentication has been removed in the
backend in 9.1, and libpq has kept some code to handle it for
compatibility.

Commit be4585b, that did the cleanup of the backend code, has done
so because the code was not really portable originally.  And, as there
are likely little chances that this is used these days, this removes the
remaining code from libpq.  An error will now be raised by libpq if
attempting to connect to a server that returns AUTH_REQ_SCM_CREDS,
instead.

References to SCM credential authentication are removed from the
protocol documentation.  This removes some meson and configure checks.

This response is only possible for local Unix-domain connections
on platforms that support SCM credential messages. The frontend
must issue an SCM credential message and then send a single data
byte. (The contents of the data byte are uninteresting; it's
only used to ensure that the server waits long enough to receive
the credential message.) If the credential is acceptable,
the server responds with an
AuthenticationOk, otherwise it responds with an ErrorResponse.
(This message type is only issued by pre-9.1 servers. It may
eventually be removed from the protocol specification.)
