    Making PQrequestCancel safe to call in a signal handler turned out to be
    much easier than I feared.  So here are the diffs.
    
    Some notes:
      * I modified the postmaster's packet "iodone" callback interface to allow
        the callback routine to return a continue-or-drop-connection return
        code; this was necessary to allow the connection to be closed after
        receiving a Cancel, rather than proceeding to launch a new backend...
        Being a neatnik, I also made the iodone proc have a typechecked
        parameter list.
      * I deleted all code I could find that had to do with OOB.
      * I made some edits to ensure that all signals mentioned in the code
        are referred to symbolically not by numbers ("SIGUSR2" not "2").
        I think Bruce may have already done at least some of the same edits;
        I hope that merging these patches is not too painful.
