Back out patch pending review.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've now tested this patch at home w/ 8.2HEAD and it seems to fix the
bug. I plan on testing it under 8.1.2 at work tommorow with
mod_auth_krb5, etc, and expect it'll work there. Assuming all goes
well and unless someone objects I'll forward the patch to -patches.
It'd be great to have this fixed as it'll allow us to use Kerberos to
authenticate to phppgadmin and other web-based tools which use
Postgres.

While playing with this patch under 8.1.2 at home I discovered a
mistake in how I manually applied one of the hunks to fe-auth.c.
Basically, the base code had changed and so the patch needed to be
modified slightly. This is because the code no longer either has a
freeable pointer under 'name' or has 'name' as NULL.

The attached patch correctly frees the string from pg_krb5_authname
(where it had been strdup'd) if and only if pg_krb5_authname returned
a string (as opposed to falling through and having name be set using
name = pw->name;). Also added a comment to this effect.
Please review.
