Breaking Change: Completely Change PostgreSQL Account Management

This is a breaking change that will require you to change your Phoebe
settings for PostgreSQL.

  * New database configuration options

  * Accounts no longer automatically create databases

  * Databases have `owners' that tie them back to an account

  * Databases have `users' that grant accounts full access

  * Databases have `readers' that grant read-only access to accounts

  * Accounts can use `ident' authentication for local connections if
    you enable the `allowIdent' option.

  * Existing accounts that are not configured via Phoebe will be
    locked so they cannot be used.  That way if you delete a user from
    Phoebe the account will continue to exist, but won't have access
    to anything.
