Set notice receiver before libpq connection startup completes

Commit 112faf1378e added custom notice receivers for replication,
postgres_fdw, and dblink so that remote NOTICE, WARNING, and similar
messages are reported via ereport(). However, those notice receivers were
installed only after libpqsrv_connect() and libpqsrv_connect_params()
returned, by which point libpq connection startup had already completed.
As a result, messages emitted during connection establishment could be
missed.

This commit fixes the issue by splitting libpqsrv_connect() and
libpqsrv_connect_params() into separate start and complete phases:
libpqsrv_connect_start(), libpqsrv_connect_params_start(), and
libpqsrv_connect_complete(). This allows callers to perform
per-connection setup, such as installing a notice receiver, after the
connection has been started but before startup completes.

Note that callers of libpqsrv_connect_start() and
libpqsrv_connect_params_start() must still call
libpqsrv_connect_complete(), even if the start function returns NULL, so
that any external FDs reserved during startup are released properly.
