Fix recently-introduced breakage in psql's \connect command. Through my misreading of what the existing code actually did, commits 85c54287a et al. broke psql's behavior for the case where "\c connstring" provides a password in the connstring. We should use that password in such a case, but as of 85c54287a we ignored it (and instead, prompted for a password).
Commit 94929f1cf fixed that in HEAD, but since I thought it was cleaning up a longstanding misbehavior and not one I'd just created, I didn't back-patch it. Hence, back-patch the portions of 94929f1cf having to do with password management. In addition to fixing the introduced bug, this means that "\c -reuse-previous=on connstring" will allow re-use of an existing connection's password if the connstring doesn't change user/host/port. That didn't happen before, but it seems like a bug fix, and anyway I'm loath to have significant differences in this code across versions. Also fix an error with the same root cause about whether or not to override a connstring's setting of client_encoding. As of 85c54287a we always did so; restore the previous behavior of overriding only when stdin/stdout are a terminal and there's no environment setting of PGCLIENTENCODING. (I find that definition a bit surprising, but right now doesn't seem like the time to revisit it.) Per bug #16746 from Krzysztof Gradek. As with the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches.
