Thanks for answering my question so promptly!
I've made a small patch against 8.0.3 which adds this functionality to
libpq-fe. However I am not very certain of how the asynchronous stuff
works in this library, so it will need careful checking.

Note the user is expected to free(3) the Oids (types) array returned
by PQgetDescription.
