Field conninfo strings throughout src/bin/scripts.
These programs nominally accepted conninfo strings, but they would proceed to use the original dbname parameter as though it were an unadorned database name. This caused "reindexdb dbname=foo" to issue an SQL command that always failed, and other programs printed a conninfo string in error messages that purported to print a database name. Fix both problems by using PQdb() to retrieve actual database names. Continue to print the full conninfo string when reporting a connection failure. It is informative there, and if the database name is the sole problem, the server-side error message will include the name. Beyond those user-visible fixes, this allows a subsequent commit to synthesize and use conninfo strings without that implementation detail leaking into messages. As a side effect, the "vacuuming database" message now appears after, not before, the connection attempt. Back-patch to 9.1 (all supported versions). Reviewed by Michael Paquier and Peter Eisentraut. Security: CVE-2016-5424
