v39 adds a great deal of documentation for implementers of custom
client flows and validators, and addresses the following upthread
feedback:
- the trust_validator_authz HBA option has been renamed to
delegate_ident_mapping
- delegate_ident_mapping is now tested as part of the oauth_validator suite
- typedefs for AsyncAuthFunc, OAuthStep, and fe_oauth_state_enum have
been removed (and the last has been renamed `enum fe_oauth_step`)
- pg_oauth_mech has been moved to fe-auth-oauth.h
- PostgreSQL::Test::OAuthServer has been moved into the
oauth_validator folder as OAuth::Server
- pgperlcritic now passes

Of Peter's notes, I think just the Windows testing comments and a
better explanation of the MAX_OAUTH_RESPONSE_SIZE remain.

Okay, I think I've corrected this (`struct PQxxx` are now `struct
PGxxx`, PGAuthData is now PGauthData). To summarize the new API:
- PGauthData is an enum containing PQAUTHDATA_* constants
- PGpromptOAuthDevice and PGoauthBearerRequest are type-specific
callback structures
- the PQauthDataHook and all of its related types and API start with
PQ, to parallel the PQsetSSLKeyPassHook_OpenSSL API
