So this relies on the fact that when errorMessage is set subsequent
messages are ignored, right? This looks neat.

At the bottom of getAnotherTuple() in fe-protocol2.c if
PQmakeEmptyPGresult returns NULL, shouldn't the error message be
enforced to "out of memory"? It is an error code path, so an error
will be set, but perhaps the message is incorrect.

- if (!res->errMsg)
- goto failure;
+ if (res)
+ {
+ res->resultStatus = isError ? PGRES_FATAL_ERROR :
PGRES_NONFATAL_ERROR;
+ res->errMsg = pqResultStrdup(res, workBuf.data);
+ }
If res->errMsg is NULL, we may have a crash later on when calling
appendPQExpBufferStr on this field. I think that we should add an
additional check on it.
