The reason it's in a fixed location is that the server needs to be able
to rewrite the file, and we don't assume we can write to directories
outside of $PGDATA unless the _directory_ (not the file) was explicitly
specified (e.g. unix_socket_directories or stats_temp_directory).
hba_file and ident_file can be outside $PGDATA because the server never
needs to write to them.
