The cfbot seemed happy with v1, so here's a v2 that does copy that
code back into ecpglib. (I kind of wonder why this code exists in
libpq + ecpglib at all, rather than in src/port/; but that seems
like a refactoring exercise for another day.)

I double-checked that all the pthread_mutex_t variables in libpq
and ecpglib are static, so the change in that struct should not
pose an ABI hazard for back-patching.

Barring objections, I plan to push this pretty soon.

regards, tom lane
