Tom Lane 7e5e1bba03 Fix recently-introduced breakage in psql's \connect command.
Through my misreading of what the existing code actually did,
commits 85c54287a et al. broke psql's behavior for the case where
"\c connstring" provides a password in the connstring.  We should
use that password in such a case, but as of 85c54287a we ignored it
(and instead, prompted for a password).

Commit 94929f1cf fixed that in HEAD, but since I thought it was
cleaning up a longstanding misbehavior and not one I'd just created,
I didn't back-patch it.

Hence, back-patch the portions of 94929f1cf having to do with
password management.  In addition to fixing the introduced bug,
this means that "\c -reuse-previous=on connstring" will allow
re-use of an existing connection's password if the connstring
doesn't change user/host/port.  That didn't happen before, but
it seems like a bug fix, and anyway I'm loath to have significant
differences in this code across versions.

Also fix an error with the same root cause about whether or not to
override a connstring's setting of client_encoding.  As of 85c54287a
we always did so; restore the previous behavior of overriding only
when stdin/stdout are a terminal and there's no environment setting
of PGCLIENTENCODING.  (I find that definition a bit surprising, but
right now doesn't seem like the time to revisit it.)

Per bug #16746 from Krzysztof Gradek.  As with the previous patch,
back-patch to all supported 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:

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.
