Actually, I don't think that we are completely done here. Using the
patch of upthread to enforce a failure on SASLInitialResponse, I see
that connecting without SSL causes the following error:
psql: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "mpaquier"
But connecting with SSL returns that:
psql: duplicate SASL authentication request

I have not looked at that in details yet, but it seems to me that we
should not take pg_SASL_init() twice in the scram authentication code
path in libpq for a single attempt.
