Following a bit here, as I'm sure that this thread comes from
861af9261035.

The reason behind the additions of the two libpq_gettext() in
passwordFromFile(), as done in 861af9261035, is just to provide a
safety net in case we introduce a new caller of passwordFromFile()
that forgets to apply gettext(), with for example a new message
printed to stderr. Not mandatory for these two new cases as
libpq_append_conn_error() is called shortly after grabbing the error
message grabbed for the current caller of passwordFromFile(), still
better to have in the long-run, IMO. That's also the style we've
adopted for the error messages related to the protocol or fe-exec.c.
