Tom Lane 52a10224e3 Uniformly identify the target host in libpq connection failure reports.
Prefix "could not connect to host-or-socket-path:" to all connection
failure cases that occur after the socket() call, and remove the
ad-hoc server identity data that was appended to a few of these
messages.  This should produce much more intelligible error reports
in multiple-target-host situations, especially for error cases that
are off the beaten track to any degree (because none of those provided
any server identity info).

As an example of the change, formerly a connection attempt with a bad
port number such as "psql -p 12345 -h localhost,/tmp" might produce

psql: error: could not connect to server: Connection refused
        Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting
        TCP/IP connections on port 12345?
could not connect to server: Connection refused
        Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting
        TCP/IP connections on port 12345?
could not connect to server: No such file or directory
        Is the server running locally and accepting
        connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.12345"?

Now it looks like

psql: error: could not connect to host "localhost" (::1), port 12345: Connection refused
        Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?
could not connect to host "localhost" (127.0.0.1), port 12345: Connection refused
        Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?
could not connect to socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.12345": No such file or directory
        Is the server running locally and accepting connections on that socket?

This requires adjusting a couple of regression tests to allow for
variation in the contents of a connection failure message.

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
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
