This commit changes libpq so that errors reported by the backend during the protocol negotiation for SSL and GSS are discarded by the client, as these may include bytes that could be consumed by the client and write arbitrary bytes to a client's terminal. A failure with the SSL negotiation now leads to an error immediately reported, without a retry on any other methods allowed, like a fallback to a plaintext connection. A failure with GSS discards the error message received, and we allow a fallback as it may be possible that the error is caused by a connection attempt with a pre-11 server, GSS encryption having been introduced in v12. This was a problem only with v17 and newer versions; older versions discard the error message already in this case, assuming a failure caused by a lack of support for GSS encryption.
