The GSSAPI encryption patch neglected to update the protocol documentation to describe how to set up a GSSAPI encrypted connection from a client to the server, so fix that by adding the appropriate documentation to protocol.sgml. The tests added for encryption support were overly long and couldn't be run in parallel due to race conditions; this was largely because each test was setting up its own KDC to perform the tests. Instead, merge the authentication tests and the encryption tests into the original test, where we only create one KDC to run the tests with. Also, have the tests check what the server's opinion is of the connection and if it was GSS authenticated or encrypted using the pg_stat_gssapi view. In passing, fix the libpq label for GSSENC-Mode to be consistent with the "PGGSSENCMODE" environment variable. Missing protocol documentation pointed out by Michael Paquier. Issues with the tests pointed out by Tom Lane and Peter Eisentraut. Refactored tests and added documentation by me. Reviewed by Robbie Harwood (protocol documentation) and Michael Paquier (rework of the tests).
