Properly escape usernames in initdb, so names with single-quotes are
supported. Also add assert to catch future breakage. Also, improve documentation that "double"-quotes must be used in pg_hba.conf (not single quotes).

Records cannot be continued across lines.
A record is made
up of a number of fields which are separated by spaces and/or tabs.
- Fields can contain white space if the field value is quoted.
+ Fields can contain white space if the field value is double-quoted.
Quoting one of the keywords in a database, user, or address field (e.g.,
<literal>all</> or <literal>replication</>) makes the word lose its special
character, and just match a database, user, or host with that name.
