Add a function to get the authenticated user ID.
Robert Haas <rhaas@postgresql.org>
Add a function to get the authenticated user ID. Previously, this was not exposed outside of miscinit.c. It is needed for the pending pg_background patch, and will also be needed for parallelism. Without it, there's no way for a background worker to re-create the exact authentication environment that was present in the process that started it, which could lead to security exposures.
