initdb: Change authentication defaults

Change the defaults for the pg_hba.conf generated by initdb to "peer"
for local (if supported, else "md5") and "md5" for host.

(Changing from "md5" to SCRAM is left as a separate exercise.)

"peer" is currently not supported on AIX, HP-UX, and Windows. Users
on those operating systems will now either have to provide a password
to initdb or choose a different authentication method when running
initdb.
