Sometimes we want an admin to be able to ban a host for some time to route traffic away from that host for reasons like partial outages, replication lag, and scheduled maintenance.
We can achieve this today using a configuration update but a quicker approach is to send a control command to PgCat that bans the replica for some specified duration.
This command does not change the current banning rules like
Primaries cannot be banned
When all replicas are banned, all replicas are unbanned
Connection to the CI databases is viewed by Postgres as coming from localhost. The pg_hba.conf file generated by the docker image uses trust for these connections, that's why we had no test coverage on SASL and md5 branches.
This PR fixes this issue. There was also an issue with under-reporting code coverage. This should be fixed now
