Change subject: tools: Get pg conf data from .pgpass (BZ732852)
......................................................................


Patch Set 2:

Postgres tools do read .pgpass; however, they look for it in $HOME.  IMO, it is 
dangerous to automatically place a .pgpass or append to a .pgpass in a user's 
home directory (especially root's).  AFAIK, the installer was at one time doing 
exactly this.

A better option would be to supply credentials to each of the PG tools (eg. 
pg_dump).  This allows the oVirt ecosystem to control where the PG user, host, 
pass, etc. are stored.

The SoS plug-in that dumps the PG DB does *not* make any assumptions on the 
existence of .pgpass.  You must pass user, host, port, etc. in as arguments.
