Be more paranoid about null return values from libpq status functions.
PQhost() can return NULL in non-error situations, namely when a Unix-socket connection has been selected by default. That behavior is a tad debatable perhaps, but for the moment we should make sure that psql copes with it. Unfortunately, do_connect() failed to: it could pass a NULL pointer to strcmp(), resulting in crashes on most platforms. This was reported as a security issue by ChenQin of Topsec Security Team, but the consensus of the security list is that it's just a garden-variety bug with no security implications. For paranoia's sake, I made the keep_password test not trust PQuser or PQport either, even though I believe those will never return NULL given a valid PGconn. Back-patch to all supported branches.
