[compute_ctl] Stop updating roles on each compute start (#3391)

I noticed that `compute_ctl` updates all roles on each start, search for
rows like

> - web_access:[FILTERED] -> update

in the compute startup log.

It happens since we had an adhoc hack for md5 hashes comparison, which
doesn't work with scram hashes stored in the `pg_authid`. It doesn't
really hurt, as nothing changes, but we just run >= 2 extra queries on
each start, so fix it.
