Heikki Linnakangas 7cb05dd2d1 Escalate ERRORs during async notify processing to FATAL
Previously, if async notify processing encountered an error, we would
report the error to the client and advance our read position past the
offending entry to prevent trying to process it over and over
again. Trying to continue after an error has a few problems however:

- We have no way of telling the client that a notification was
  lost. They get an ERROR, but that doesn't tell you much. As such,
  it's not clear if keeping the connection alive after losing a
  notification is a good thing. Depending on the application logic,
  missing a notification could cause the application to get stuck
  waiting, for example.

- If the connection is idle, PqCommReadingMsg is set and any ERROR is
  turned into FATAL anyway.

- We bailed out of the notification processing loop on first error
  without processing any subsequent notifications. The subsequent
  notifications would not be processed until another notify interrupt
  arrives. For example, if there were two notifications pending, and
  processing the first one caused an ERROR, the second notification
  would not be processed until someone sent a new NOTIFY.

This commit changes the behavior so that any ERROR while processing
async notifications is turned into FATAL, causing the client
connection to be terminated. That makes the behavior more consistent
as that's what happened in idle state already, and terminating the
connection is a clear signal to the application that it might've
missed some notifications.

The reason to do this now is that the next commits will change the
notification processing code in a way that would make it harder to
skip over just the offending notification entry on error.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.
