Doc: clarify description of regexp fields in pg_ident.conf.

The grammar was a little shaky and confusing here, so word-smith it
a bit. Also, adjust the comments in pg_ident.conf.sample to use the
same terminology as the SGML docs, in particular "DATABASE-USERNAME"
not "PG-USERNAME".

Back-patch appropriate subsets. I did not risk changing
pg_ident.conf.sample in released branches, but it still seems OK
to change it in v18.
