commit    6a3dcd28568a04b6e4aea2bf41ea2c7e9c7b0e96
Author:   Thomas Munro <tmunro@postgresql.org>

    Fix possible buffer overrun in hba.c.
    
    Coverty reports a possible buffer overrun in the code that populates the
    pg_hba_file_rules view.  It may not be a live bug due to restrictions
    on options that can be used together, but let's increase MAX_HBA_OPTIONS
    and correct a nearby misleading comment.
    
    Back-patch to 10 where this code arrived.
