Subject: [PATCH 3/4] Fix pg_isblank()

There was a pg_isblank() function that claimed to be a replacement for
the standard isblank() function, which was thought to be "not very
portable yet".  We can now assume that it's portable (it's in C99).

But pg_isblank() actually diverged from the standard isblank() by also
accepting '\r', while the standard one only accepts space and tab.
This was added to support parsing pg_hba.conf under Windows.  But the
hba parsing code now works completely differently and already handles
line endings before we get to pg_isblank().  The other user of
pg_isblank() is for ident protocol message parsing, which also handles
'\r' separately.  So this behavior is now obsolete and confusing.

To improve clarity, I separated those concerns.  The ident parsing now
gets its own function that hardcodes the whitespace characters
mentioned by the relevant RFC.  The hba parsing uses the standard
isblank().  pg_isblank() is removed.
