OK, I have been poking at this problem. I think that we need to
introduce a new state in ConnStatusType telling "please consume all
results until PQgetResult returns NULL" which is CONNECTION_CONSUME in
the patch attached. And as long as all the results are not consumed,
the loop just keeps going. If more messages are being waited for with
PGisBusy returning true, then the loop requests for more data to read
by switching back to PGRES_POLLING_READING.

By the way, I am noticing as well that libpq.sgml is missing a
reference to CONNECTION_CHECK_WRITABLE. This should be present as
applications calling PQconnectPoll() could face such a status. I have
fixed this issue as well in the patch attached.
