libpq: Be strict about cancel key lengths The protocol documentation states that the maximum length of a cancel key is 256 bytes. This starts checking for that limit in libpq. Otherwise third party backend implementations will probably start using more bytes anyway. We also start requiring that a protocol 3.0 connection does not send a longer cancel key, to make sure that servers don't start breaking old 3.0-only clients by accident. Finally this also restricts the minimum key length to 4 bytes (both in the protocol spec and in the libpq implementation).
