So why is this part of the patch ok? Isn't it going to make libpq get confused
every time a PQExecPrepared sends a v3.0 prepare message? It will mark the
connection as PGASYNC_READY as soon as the prepare response is parsed instead
of waiting for the responses from the bind and execute messages that have
already been sent.

This is more or less where I got stuck on my attempt at the same thing. It
seems like to handle "bundled" calls like PQExecPrepared libpq would have to
keep track of from what call various messages arose. That seems like it would
complicate things quite a bit.
