Fold PQsetenv working state into PGconn, rather than trying to maintain

it in a separate object. There's no value in keeping the state separate,
and it creates dangling-pointer problems. Also, remove PQsetenv routines
from public API, until and unless they are redesigned to have a safer
interface. Since they were never part of the documented API before 7.0,
it's unlikely that anyone is calling them.

become invalid.
Also, remove processing of // comments, as agreed in the same thread.

Tweak GROUP BY so that it will still accept result-column names, but only
...
after trying to resolve the item as an input-column name. This allows us
to be compliant with the SQL92 spec for queries that fall within the spec,
while still accepting the same out-of-spec queries as 6.5 did. You'll only
lose if there is an output column name that is the same as an input
column name, but doesn't refer to the same value. 7.0 will interpret
such a GROUP BY spec differently than 6.5 did. No way around that, because
6.5 was clearly not spec compliant.
