Enable replication connections by default in pg_hba.conf
initdb now initializes a pg_hba.conf that allows replication connections
from the local host, same as it does for regular connections. The
connecting user still needs to have the REPLICATION attribute or be a
superuser.
The intent is to allow pg_basebackup from the local host to succeed
without requiring additional configuration.
