Skip ALTER ROLE when the stored SCRAM verifier already matches the password (#3171)

* Skip ALTER ROLE when the stored SCRAM verifier already matches the password

With password_encryption = scram-sha-256, syncSecrets compared the stored
rolpassword with a freshly generated verifier. SCRAM verifiers embed a
random salt, so the strings never match and every sync cycle re-issued
ALTER ROLE ... PASSWORD for every managed role, re-salting the verifier
each time. Besides the WAL and audit noise, this invalidates SCRAM
pass-through credentials cached by connection poolers (e.g. pgbouncer
behind auth_query), causing a short window of 'password authentication
failed' server logins after every sync.

Verify the stored hash against the desired password instead: for SCRAM
verifiers the salt and iteration count are taken from the stored value
and the derived keys are compared. Hashes whose type does not match the
configured password_encryption are still reported as outdated, so
switching between md5 and scram-sha-256 keeps re-hashing roles as
before.
