One file per line seems best. We already did this in some cases.
This adopts the same format everywhere (except in some cases where the
list reasonably fits on one line).
This reverts commit 617d691412.
While I still think the basic idea is attractive, we need to sort
out what happens with built .c files, and there also seem to be
VPATH issues.
The backend already used a mechanically-generated list of *.c files,
but everywhere else we had a manually-written-out list of files in
which to seek translatable messages. Commit b0a55e432 contains the
latest in a long line of failures to update those lists. Rather than
manually fix its oversight, let's change to using "$(wildcard *.c)"
in all these nls.mk files.
Many of these files also have manual references to some *.c files
in other directories, most often src/common/. Perhaps we should try
to improve that situation too; but it's a bit less clear how, so for
now just fix the local file references.

This moves the list of available languages from nls.mk into a separate
file called po/LINGUAS. Advantages:
- It keeps the parts notionally managed by programmers (nls.mk)
separate from the parts notionally managed by translators (LINGUAS).
- It's the standard practice recommended by the Gettext manual
nowadays.
- The Meson build system also supports this layout (and of course
doesn't know anything about our custom nls.mk), so this would enable
sharing the list of languages between the two build systems.
(The MSVC build system currently finds all po files by globbing, so it
is not affected by this change.)

The parallel slots infrastructure (which implements client-side
multiplexing of server connections doing similar things, not
threading or multiple processes or anything like that) are moved from
src/bin/scripts/scripts_parallel.c to src/fe_utils/parallel_slot.c.
The functions consumeQueryResult() and processQueryResult() which were
previously part of src/bin/scripts/common.c are now moved into that
file as well, becoming static helper functions. This might need to be
changed in the future, but currently they're not used for anything
else.
Some other functions from src/bin/scripts/common.c are moved to to
src/fe_utils and are split up among several files. connectDatabase(),
connectMaintenanceDatabase(), and disconnectDatabase() are moved to
connect_utils.c. executeQuery(), executeCommand(), and
executeMaintenanceCommand() are move to query_utils.c.
handle_help_version_opts() is moved to option_utils.c.
Mark Dilger, reviewed by me. The larger patch series of which this is
a part has also had review from Peter Geoghegan, Andres Freund, Álvaro
Herrera, Michael Paquier, and Amul Sul, but I don't know whether any
of them have reviewed this bit specifically.

This unifies the various ad hoc logging (message printing, error
printing) systems used throughout the command-line programs.
Features:
- Program name is automatically prefixed.
- Message string does not end with newline. This removes a common
source of inconsistencies and omissions.
- Additionally, a final newline is automatically stripped, simplifying
use of PQerrorMessage() etc., another common source of mistakes.
- I converted error message strings to use %m where possible.
- As a result of the above several points, more translatable message
strings can be shared between different components and between
frontends and backend, without gratuitous punctuation or whitespace
differences.
- There is support for setting a "log level". This is not meant to be
user-facing, but can be used internally to implement debug or
verbose modes.
- Lazy argument evaluation, so no significant overhead if logging at
some level is disabled.
- Some color in the messages, similar to gcc and clang. Set
PG_COLOR=auto to try it out. Some colors are predefined, but can be
customized by setting PG_COLORS.
- Common files (common/, fe_utils/, etc.) can handle logging much more
simply by just using one API without worrying too much about the
context of the calling program, requiring callbacks, or having to
pass "progname" around everywhere.
- Some programs called setvbuf() to make sure that stderr is
unbuffered, even on Windows. But not all programs did that. This
is now done centrally.
Soft goals:
- Reduces vertical space use and visual complexity of error reporting
in the source code.
- Encourages more deliberate classification of messages. For example,
in some cases it wasn't clear without analyzing the surrounding code
whether a message was meant as an error or just an info.
- Concepts and terms are vaguely aligned with popular logging
frameworks such as log4j and Python logging.
This is all just about printing stuff out. Nothing affects program
flow (e.g., fatal exits). The uses are just too varied to do that.
Some existing code had wrappers that do some kind of print-and-exit,
and I adapted those.
I tried to keep the output mostly the same, but there is a lot of
historical baggage to unwind and special cases to consider, and I
might not always have succeeded. One significant change is that
pg_rewind used to write all error messages to stdout. That is now
changed to stderr.

It currently doesn't make a difference, but it's inconsistent with
most other usage, and it might interfere with a future patch, so I'll
change it all in a separate commit.
Also, replace tabs with spaces for alignment.
(possibly (un)translated) letters that are actually expected as input.
Also reject invalid responses instead of silenty taken them as "no".
