libpq: Improve error handling in passwordFromFile()
Previously, passwordFromFile() returned NULL for valid cases (like no
matching password found) and actual errors (two out-of-memory paths).
This made it impossible for its sole caller, pqConnectOptions2(), to
distinguish between these scenarios and fail the connection
appropriately should an out-of-memory error occur.
This patch extends passwordFromFile() to be able to detect both valid
and failure cases, with an error string given back to the caller of the
function.
Out-of-memory failures unlikely happen in the field, so no backpatch is
done.
