Feature: Use of authentication manager in PostGIS related algorithms

PostGIS related algorithms now use QGIS authentication manager to get credentials for PostGIS database.

• In case and authentication method has been set on PostGIS connection, user will be asked for his master password.
• In case no authentication method has been set on connection, credentials will be taken from credentials cache or, if not found there, asked to the user and stored in credentials cache for further use.

With this, it is not longer necessary to store clear passwords in connection settings to use PostGIS related algorithms.
