I agree that refactoring this would be nice in the long-term, and I also
agree that it's probably OK as it is in the short-term. I don't like the
name PSQLexecInternal, though. PSQLexec is used for "internal" commands
anyway. In fact it's backwards, because PSQLexecInternal is used for
non-internal queries, given by \watch, while PSQLexec is used for internal
commands.

Agreed. So what about PSQLexecCommon (inspired by
the relation between LWLockAcquireCommon and LWLockAcquire)?
Or any better name?

Actually, perhaps it would be better to just copy-paste PSQLexec, and
modify the copy to suite \watch's needs. (PSQLexecWatch?
SendWatchQuery?). PSQLexec doesn't do much, and there isn't very much
overlap between what \watch wants and what other PSQLexec callers want.
\watch wants timing output, others don't. \watch doesn't want
transaction handling. Do we want --echo-hidden to print the \watch'd
query? Not sure..

BTW, I just noticed that none of the callers of PSQLexec pass "start_xact=true". So that part of the function is dead code. We might want to remove it, and replace with a comment noting that PSQLexec never starts a new transaction block, even in autocommit-off mode. (I know you're hacking on this, so I didnn't want to joggle your elbow by doing it right now)
