Ensure we discard unread/unsent data when abandoning a connection attempt.
There are assorted situations wherein PQconnectPoll() will abandon a connection attempt and try again with different parameters (eg, SSL versus not SSL). However, the code forgot to discard any pending data in libpq's I/O buffers when doing this. In at least one case (server returns E message during SSL negotiation), there is unread input data which bollixes the next connection attempt. I have not checked to see whether this is possible in the other cases where we close the socket and retry, but it seems like a matter of good defensive programming to add explicit buffer-flushing code to all of them. This is one of several issues exposed by Daniel Farina's report of misbehavior after a server-side fork failure. This has been wrong since forever, so back-patch to all supported branches.
