The code that handles authentication for user maps was pretty confusing with its choice of variable names. It involves two types of users: a system user and a Postgres user (well, role), and these were not named consistently throughout the code that processes the user maps loaded from pg_ident.conf at authentication. This commit changes the following things to improve the situation: - Rename "pg_role" to "pg_user" and "token" to "system_user" in IndetLine. These choices are more consistent with the pg_ident.conf example in the docs, as well. "token" has been introduced recently in fc579e1, and it is way worse than the choice before that, "ident_user". - Switch the order of the fields in IdentLine to map with the order of the items in the ident files, as of map name, system user and PG user. - In check_ident_usermap(), rename "regexp_pgrole" to "expanded_pg_user" when processing a regexp for the system user entry in a user map. This variable does not store a regular expression at all: it would be either a string or a substitution to \1 if the Postgres role is specified as such.
