FWIW, I wrote a patch for the Go driver at https://github.com/lib/pq, to
implement SCRAM. It's awaiting review.

I updated the List of Drivers in the Wiki. I added a few drivers that
were missing, like the ODBC driver, and the pgtclng driver, as well as a
Go and Rust driver that I'm aware of. I reformatted it, and added a
column to indicate whether each driver uses libpq or not.

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/List_of_drivers

There is a similar list in our docs:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/external-interfaces.html

Should we update the list in the docs, adding every driver we know of?
Or curate the list somehow, adding only more popular drivers? Or perhaps
add a link to the Wiki page from the docs?

We can use this list in the Wiki to track which drivers implement SCRAM.
