    pg_receivewal, pg_recvlogical: allow canceling initial password prompt. · 3bd7556b
    Tom Lane authored
    Previously it was impossible to terminate these programs via control-C
    while they were prompting for a password.  We can fix that trivially
    for their initial password prompts, by moving setup of the SIGINT
    handler from just before to just after their initial GetConnection()
    calls.
    
    This fix doesn't permit escaping out of later re-prompts, but those
    should be exceedingly rare, since the user's password or the server's
    authentication setup would have to have changed meanwhile.  We
    considered applying a fix similar to commit 46d665bc2, but that
    seemed more complicated than it'd be worth.  Moreover, this way is
    back-patchable, which that wasn't.
    
    The misbehavior exists in all supported versions, so back-patch to all.
