Fuzzers are happy so far.

Valgrind did find something! A mistake I made during parameter
discovery: setup_oauth_parameters() ensures that conn->oauth_issuer_id
is always set using the "issuer" connection option, but during the
second connection, I reassigned the pointer for it (and
conn->oauth_discovery_uri) and leaked the previous allocations.

v52-0002 fixes that. I've taken the opportunity to document that those
two parameters are designed to be unchangeable for the connection once
they've been assigned.

s/postgres/Postgres/. Maybe a softening to "does not" ship with one?

Each pg_hba entry can specify only one of the DBA-blessed validators, not more.

s/libucurl/libcurl/

And as discussed offlist, we should note that the builtin device flow
is not currently supported on Windows.

Thanks!
