Subject: [PATCH v31 4/5] libpq: Add encrypted and non-blocking versions of
 PQcancel

The existing PQcancel API is using blocking IO. This makes PQcancel
impossible to use in an event loop based codebase, without blocking the
event loop until the call returns. PQcancelConn can now be used instead,
to have a non-blocking way of sending cancel requests. It also doesn't
encrypt the connection over which the cancel request is sent, even when
the original connection required encryption.

This patch adds a bunch of new functions which, together, allow users to
send cancel requests in an encrypted and performant way. The primary new
functions are PQcancelBlocking and PQcancelStart (for blocking and
non-blocking requests respectively). These functions reuse the normal
connection establishement code, so that they can apply the same connection
options such sslmode and gssencmode that the original connection used.
