[PATCH] Add support for postgres:// URIs to PGDATABASE environment variable

The PGDATABASE is documented as behaving the same as the dbname connection
parameter but they differ in the support for postgres:// URIs: the
PGDATABASE will never be expanded even thought expand_dbname is set:

$ psql postgres://localhost/test -c 'select 1' >/dev/null # Works
$ PGDATABASE=postgres://localhost/test psql -c 'select 1' >/dev/null # Doesn't work
psql: error: connection to server on socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: FATAL: database "postgres://localhost/test" does not exist

In the second command the postgres://localhost/test string has not been
interpreted and the connection fails.

In order to make PGDATABASE and dbname behave the same this patch adds
URIs support to the environment variable. This makes it convenient for
users to pass a single connection string when environment variables are
used.

When both PGDATABASE and dbname are a connection string, the values of
dbname will override the ones of PGDATABASE, e.g.

$ PGDATABASE=postgres://localhost/test?sslmode=require psql postgres://host/db

is equivalent to

$ psql postgres://host/db?sslmode=require

I did not write tests for this patch as I am not sure where to put them
since libpq_uri_regress uses PQconninfoParse() that does not read the
environment variables.
