Turn password_encryption GUC into an enum.
This makes the parameter easier to extend, to support other password-based
authentication protocols than MD5. (SCRAM is being worked on.)
The GUC still accepts on/off as aliases for "md5" and "plain", although
we may want to remove those once we actually add support for another
password hash type.
