Elaborate on what gets stored in pg_authid.rolpasswd.

Browse Source 
Also, add cross-reference from pg_shadow.passwd to pg_authid.rolpasswd and
fix a bit of markup I muffed in my previous commit.

Per discussion with Josh Kupershmidt.

Password (possibly encrypted); null if none. If the password is
encrypted, this column will contain the string md5 followed by a
32-character hexadecimal MD5 hash. The MD5 hash will be of the
user's password concatenated to their username (for example, if
user joe has password xyzzy, <productname>PostgreSQL</> will store
the md5 hash of xyzzyjoe).
