Looks to me like authn_id isn't synchronized to parallel workers right now. So
the function will return the wrong thing when executed as part of a parallel
query.

I don't think we should add further functions not prefixed with pg_.


Perhaps a few tests for less trivial authn_ids could be worthwhile?
E.g. certificate DNs.
