Subject: [PATCH v4 3/4] Only expand \1 in pg_ident.conf when not quoted

While unlikely, it's possible for usernames to contain the literal
character sequence '\1'. This allows quoting the database-username in
a pg_ident.conf file such that it's possible to match against a literal
'\1' character sequence.
