Sorry for coming late here, but the patch which has been committed,
56811e57, results in a section which is completely empty:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/auth-methods.html

And all the authentication methods get listed here:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/client-authentication.html

So I find the result even more confusing than the original.  Wouldn't it
be more simple to just remove "Authentication Methods" if the current
layer is kept?

+1, that definitely seems like a good idea.
