libpq: Add encrypted and non-blocking query cancellation routines

The existing PQcancel API uses blocking IO, which makes PQcancel
impossible to use in an event loop based codebase without blocking the
event loop until the call returns.  It also doesn't encrypt the
connection over which the cancel request is sent, even when the original
connection required encryption.

This commit adds a PQcancelConn struct and assorted functions, which
provide a better mechanism of sending cancel requests; in particular all
the encryption used in the original connection are also used in the
cancel connection.  The main entry points are:

- PQcancelCreate creates the PQcancelConn based on the original
  connection (but does not establish an actual connection).
- PQcancelStart can be used to initiate non-blocking cancel requests,
  using encryption if the original connection did so, which must be
  pumped using
- PQcancelPoll.
- PQcancelReset puts a PQcancelConn back in state so that it can be
  reused to send a new cancel request to the same connection.
- PQcancelBlocking is a simpler-to-use blocking API that still uses
  encryption.

Additional functions are
 - PQcancelStatus, mimicks PQstatus;
 - PQcancelSocket, mimicks PQcancelSocket;
 - PQcancelErrorMessage, mimicks PQerrorMessage;
 - PQcancelFinish, mimicks PQfinish.

Many connection parameters of the original client will be reused when
setting up the connection for the cancel request. Importantly, if the
original connection requires encryption of the connection and/or
verification of the target host (using <literal>sslmode</literal> or
<literal>gssencmode</literal>), then the connection for the cancel
request is made with these same requirements. Any connection options
that are only used during authentication or after authentication of the
client are ignored though, because cancellation requests do not require
authentication and the connection is closed right after the cancellation
request is submitted.

is to poll <application>libpq</application> so that it can proceed with

Use <xref linkend="libpq-PQcancelSocket"/> to obtain the descriptor of the

(Caution: do not assume that the socket remains the same
across <function>PQcancelPoll</function> calls.)
Loop thus: If <function>PQcancelPoll(cancelConn)</function> last returned
<symbol>PGRES_POLLING_READING</symbol>, wait until the socket is ready to
read (as indicated by <function>select()</function>,
<function>poll()</function>, or similar system function).
Then call <function>PQcancelPoll(cancelConn)</function> again.
Conversely, if <function>PQcancelPoll(cancelConn)</function> last returned
<symbol>PGRES_POLLING_WRITING</symbol>, wait until the socket is ready
to write, then call <function>PQcancelPoll(cancelConn)</function> again.
On the first iteration, i.e., if you have yet to call
<function>PQcancelPoll(cancelConn)</function>, behave as if it last returned
<symbol>PGRES_POLLING_WRITING</symbol>. Continue this loop until
<function>PQcancelPoll(cancelConn)</function> returns

request was successfully dispatched.

At any time during connection, the status of the connection can be
checked by calling <xref linkend="libpq-PQcancelStatus"/>.
If this call returns <symbol>CONNECTION_BAD</symbol>, then
the cancel procedure has failed; if the call returns
<function>CONNECTION_OK</function>, then cancel request was
successfully dispatched.
Both of these states are equally detectable from the return value of
<function>PQcancelPoll</function>, described above.
Other states might also occur during (and only during) an asynchronous
connection procedure.
These indicate the current stage of the connection procedure and might
be useful to provide feedback to the user for example.

Note that, although these constants will remain (in order to maintain
compatibility), an application should never rely upon these occurring in a
particular order, or at all, or on the status always being one of these
documented values. An application might do something like this:

switch(PQcancelStatus(conn))
{
case CONNECTION_STARTED:
feedback = "Connecting...";
break;
case CONNECTION_MADE:

<para>

when using <function>PQcancelPoll</function>; it is the application's

A cancel request that was successfully dispatched
has the status <literal>CONNECTION_OK</literal>. A failed
cancel attempt is signaled by status
<literal>CONNECTION_BAD</literal>. An OK status will
remain so until <xref linkend="libpq-PQcancelFinish"/> or
