Add authentication TAP test for peer authentication

This commit introduces an authentication test for the peer method, as of
a set of scenarios with and without a user name map.  The script is
automatically skipped if peer is not supported in the environment where
this test is run, checking this behavior by attempting a connection
first on a cluster up and running.
