Tom Lane 43f1d2ab36 Improve libpq's handling of OOM during error message construction.
Commit ffa2e4670 changed libpq so that multiple error reports
occurring during one operation (a connection attempt or query)
are accumulated in conn->errorMessage, where before new ones
usually replaced any prior error.  At least in theory, that makes
us more vulnerable to running out of memory for the errorMessage
buffer.  If it did happen, the user would be left with just an
empty-string error report, which is pretty unhelpful.

We can improve this by relying on pqexpbuffer.c's existing "broken
buffer" convention to track whether we've hit OOM for the current
operation's error string, and then substituting a constant "out of
memory" string in the small number of places where the errorMessage
is read out.

While at it, apply the same method to similar OOM cases in
pqInternalNotice and pqGetErrorNotice3.

Back-patch to v14 where ffa2e4670 came in.  In principle this could
go back further; but in view of the lack of field reports, the
hazard seems negligible in older branches.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
