'select distinct on' causes backend to crash

This is a patch to prevent an endless loop occuring in the Postgres backend
when a 'warning' error condition generates another warning error contition
in the handler code.

It is not possible to define attributes as arrays of date or time, the
type _time and _date are not defined.

Submitted by: Massimo Dal Zotto <dz@cs.unitn.it>

The type _char16 (array of char16) is incorrectly defined as array of name
and values longer than 16 chars are stored as names and not truncated to 16
bytes as they should be.

before (plus some optimisations/bug fixes et al).  I've included a small
demo transcript below. Note that all of of the display
functionality/intelligence you see here, can be had merely by calling
the new LIBPQ PQprint() routine with the appropriate arguments/options,
including the HTML3 output guff.

varchar.diff
------------
This patch was necessary for the OpenLink Postgres Database Agent.
I think this fixes a bug anyway.

The following query demonstrates this bug:

  create table foo (bar varchar);
  insert into foo values ('');          -- no problem
  select * from foo where bar = '';     -- fails

The idea is that its right beside PORTNAME, so if it doesn't apply to
the OS in question, it can be rememberd to disable it...
