Arrange for the authentication request type to be preserved in
PGconn. Invent a new libpq connection-status function,
PQconnectionUsedPassword() that returns true if the server
demanded a password during authentication, false otherwise.
This may be useful to clients in general, but is immediately
useful to help plug a privilege escalation path in dblink.
Per list discussion and design proposed by Tom Lane.
