This commit adds a new function to handle notify and use it
in the SHOW HELP command, which displays the available options
in the admin console.
Also, adding Fabrízio as a co-author for all the help with the
protocol and the help to structure this PR.

* Add a new exec_simple_query method
This adds a new `exec_simple_query` method so we can make 'out of band'
queries to servers that don't interfere with pools at all.
In order to reuse startup code for making these simple queries,
we need to set the stats (`Reporter`) optional, so using these
simple queries wont interfere with stats.
* Add auth passthough (auth_query)
Adds a feature that allows setting auth passthrough for md5 auth.
It adds 3 new (general and pool) config parameters:
- `auth_query`: An string containing a query that will be executed on boot
to obtain the hash of a given user. This query have to use a placeholder `$1`,
so pgcat can replace it with the user its trying to fetch the hash from.
- `auth_query_user`: The user to use for connecting to the server and executing the
auth_query.
- `auth_query_password`: The password to use for connecting to the server and executing the
auth_query.
The configuration can be done either on the general config (so pools share them) or in a per-pool basis.
The behavior is, at boot time, when validating server connections, a hash is fetched per server
and stored in the pool. When new server connections are created, and no cleartext password is specified,
the obtained hash is used for creating them, if the hash could not be obtained for whatever reason, it retries
it.
When client authentication is tried, it uses cleartext passwords if specified, it not, it checks whether
we have query_auth set up, if so, it tries to use the obtained hash for making client auth. If there is no
hash (we could not obtain one when validating the connection), a new fetch is tried.
Once we have a hash, we authenticate using it against whathever the client has sent us, if there is a failure
we refetch the hash and retry auth (so password changes can be done).
The idea with this 'retrial' mechanism is to make it fault tolerant, so if for whatever reason hash could not be
obtained during connection validation, or the password has change, we can still connect later.
* Add documentation for Auth passthrough
When recv is called in the mirroring client, we noticed an occasional panic when reading the message.
thread 'tokio-runtime-worker' panicked at 'slice index starts at 5 but ends at 0', src/messages.rs:522:18
We are still debugging the reason why this happens but adding a check for slice bounds seems like a good idea. Instead of panicking, this will return an Err to the caller which will close the connection.
We have encountered a case where PgCat pools were stuck following a database incident. Our best understanding at this point is that the PgCat -> Postgres connections died silently and because Tokio defaults to disabling keepalives, connections in the pool were marked as busy forever. Only when we deployed PgCat did we see recovery.
This PR introduces tcp_keepalives to PgCat. This sets the defaults to be
keepalives_idle: 5 # seconds
keepalives_interval: 5 # seconds
keepalives_count: 5 # a count
These settings can detect the death of an idle connection within 30 seconds of its death. Please note that the connection can remain idle forever (from an application perspective) as long as the keepalive packets are flowing so disconnection will only occur if the other end is not acknowledging keepalive packets (keepalive packet acks are handled by the OS, the application does not need to do anything). I plan to add tcp_user_timeout in a follow-up PR.
