fix notes about password encryption in pg_authid docs
I noticed that the docs for the pg_authid catalog still indicate that
passwords might be stored "unencrypted," which hasn't been possible since
commit eb61136. The attached patch attempts to fix that. If acceptable,
I'd back-patch it to all supported versions.

Good point.
You are missing one reference in doc/src/sgml/system-views.sgml for
pg_shadow.passwd, no?
