Hi,

while looking through postgresql.conf on PG18, I noticed that
password_encryption mentions md5 as valid alternative to scram-sha-256.
I think it would be useful to mention md5 is deprecated so that people
looking at it (but have otherwise not gotten the memo) will realize and
hopefully act on it.

Patch attached, I think it would be a candidate for being back-patched
to PG18 if accepted.

Michael
