You should lose the remoteXactOpen flag entirely, in favor of just
testing PQtransactionStatus() on-the-fly when necessary. Simpler,
more reliable, not notably slower.
With that change, the separate remoteConn struct could be dropped
altogether in favor of just using the PGconn pointer. This would
make things notationally simpler, and in fact perhaps allow undoing
the bulk of the edits in your patch. As-is I think the patch is
pretty risky to apply during beta.
