Peter Eisentraut c1932e5428 libpq: Allow IP address SANs in server certificates
The current implementation supports exactly one IP address in a server
certificate's Common Name, which is brittle (the strings must match
exactly).  This patch adds support for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in a
server's Subject Alternative Names.

Per discussion on-list:

- If the client's expected host is an IP address, we allow fallback to
  the Subject Common Name if an iPAddress SAN is not present, even if
  a dNSName is present.  This matches the behavior of NSS, in
  violation of the relevant RFCs.

- We also, counter-intuitively, match IP addresses embedded in dNSName
  SANs.  From inspection this appears to have been the behavior since
  the SAN matching feature was introduced in acd08d76.

- Unlike NSS, we don't map IPv4 to IPv6 addresses, or vice-versa.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
