Fix do_query to send sync rather than flush.
When in extended query mode and no explicit transaction has started
(i.e. implicit transaction), do_query issues a flush message after
execute message. But this does not close the implicit transaction and
"DISCARD ALL" in reset_query_list failed with:
"DISCARD ALL cannot run inside a transaction block"
This could happen when query cache is enabled. After an execute and
sync are issued, pgpool generates internal query in extended query
mode using do_query:
SELECT oid FROM pg_catalog.pg_database WHERE datname = 'test'
Since do_query never issued a sync for this query, the implicit
transaction opened by do_query never closed and raised the error.
To fix the issue, send a sync message, rather than a flush message.
Sync will close the unamed portal in an implicit transaction. But to
run an unnamed portal, we need to issue bind message and re-create a
unnamed portal anyway.
Note: the author created the patch for fixing "idle in transaction"
left in pg_stat_activity, but I failed to reproduce the
issue. However, since I found the patch solves the issue above, I
decided to commit the patch anyway.
