On my machine, headerscheck does not like this:

$ src/tools/pginclude/headerscheck --cplusplus
In file included from /tmp/headerscheck.4gTaW5/test.cpp:3:
./src/include/libpq/libpq-be-fe-helpers.h: In function 'char* libpqsrv_cancel(PGconn*, TimestampTz)':
./src/include/libpq/libpq-be-fe-helpers.h:393:10: warning: ISO C++ forbids converting a string constant to 'char*' [-Wwrite-strings]
return "out of memory";
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
./src/include/libpq/libpq-be-fe-helpers.h:421:13: warning: ISO C++ forbids converting a string constant to 'char*' [-Wwrite-strings]
error = "cancel request timed out";
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The second part of that could easily be fixed by declaring "error" as
"const char *". As for the first part, can we redefine the whole
function as returning "const char *"? (If not, this coding is very
questionable anyway.)
