| Subject: | [v9.1] Add security hook on initialization of instance |

The attached patch tries to add one more security hook on the
initialization of PostgreSQL instance (InitPostgres()).
It gives the external security module a chance to initialize itself,
and acquire credential of the client.
I assumed the best place to initialize the module is just after the
initialize_acl() invocation, if ESP is available.
We have not discussed about this hook yet. So, I'd like to see any
comments.
Thanks,
