Making PQrequestCancel safe to call in a signal handler turned out to be
much easier than I feared.  So here are the diffs.

Some notes:
  * I modified the postmaster's packet "iodone" callback interface to allow
    the callback routine to return a continue-or-drop-connection return
    code; this was necessary to allow the connection to be closed after
    receiving a Cancel, rather than proceeding to launch a new backend...
    Being a neatnik, I also made the iodone proc have a typechecked
    parameter list.
  * I deleted all code I could find that had to do with OOB.
  * I made some edits to ensure that all signals mentioned in the code
    are referred to symbolically not by numbers ("SIGUSR2" not "2").
    I think Bruce may have already done at least some of the same edits;
    I hope that merging these patches is not too painful.
