Add system view pg_ident_file_mappings

This view is similar to pg_hba_file_rules view, except that it is
associated with the parsing of pg_ident.conf.  Similarly to its cousin,
this view is useful to check via SQL if changes planned in pg_ident.conf
would work upon reload or restart, or to diagnose a previous failure.

Bumps catalog version.
