Address all maintainer feedback from @sunng87

✅ High Priority Fixes:
1. Rename variable to 'error_code' in encoder.rs (requested)
2. Use error display format instead of debug format (requested)
3. Update tokio-rustls to use ring backend for Windows compatibility (requested)
4. Remove println/eprintln from library code (requested)
5. Add bold authentication warning in README (requested)

✅ Medium Priority Improvements:
6. Implement proper pgwire AuthSource instead of custom startup handler (requested)
   - Added DfAuthSource with proper LoginInfo handling
   - Deprecated AuthStartupHandler in favor of standard pgwire auth
   - Fixed compilation errors with proper type handling

✅ Low Priority Documentation:
7. Reference pgwire transaction example (requested)
   - Added comment linking to official pgwire transaction.rs example
   - Updated transaction responses to use TransactionStart/TransactionEnd

All feedback addressed! Ready for merge 🚀

For production deployments, use `DfAuthSource` with proper cleartext/md5/scram authentication instead of the deprecated `AuthStartupHandler`. See the auth.rs module for implementation details.
