Hello, While working on the configuration file format proposal, I noticed that we are missing pg_hosts_file_rules, the pg_hosts version of pg_hba_file_rules. The attached patch adds this functionality, mirroring how the hba version is implemented. One detail I am definitely unsure about is the first rule_number column, since pg_hosts is explicitly unordered, we might not want to add it. I included it in 0001 for parity with hba_file_rules and completeness.
