That list of supported authentication methods would need to be included in

startup message, without breaking compatibility with old servers. If there
is an option in the startup message that the server doesn't understand, it
will treat it as a GUC, and you get an "unrecognized configuration
parameter" after authentication.

Hmm, that's not such a bad idea, actually. It only goes back to 9.2,
though. Before that, the prefix needed to be listed in
custom_variable_classes, or you got an error. 9.2 is the oldest
supported version, but libpq should still be able to connect to older
versions.
