1. initdb check_need_password fix

   Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net> — 2012-06-28T19:48:11Z

   If you run initdb -A md5, you get an error
   
   initdb: must specify a password for the superuser to enable md5 authentication
   
   In 9.2, when you run something like initdb --auth-local=peer
   --auth-host=md5, you still get that error, which I think is a mistake.
   The error should only be shown if both authentication choices are
   password-like.  Hence I propose the attached patch.

   Looks right to me.
