Tom Lane 03bf7a12c5 Fix incorrect message-printing in win32security.c.
log_error() would probably fail completely if used, and would
certainly print garbage for anything that needed to be interpolated
into the message, because it was failing to use the correct printing
subroutine for a va_list argument.

This bug likely went undetected because the error cases this code
is used for are rarely exercised - they only occur when Windows
security API calls fail catastrophically (out of memory, security
subsystem corruption, etc).

The FRONTEND variant can be fixed just by calling vfprintf()
instead of fprintf().  However, there was no va_list variant
of write_stderr(), so create one by refactoring that function.
Following the usual naming convention for such things, call
it vwrite_stderr().

libpgport
=========

libpgport must have special behavior.  It supplies functions to both
libraries and applications.  However, there are two complexities:

1)  Libraries need to use object files that are compiled with exactly
the same flags as the library.  libpgport might not use the same flags,
so it is necessary to recompile the object files for individual
libraries.  This is done by removing -lpgport from the link line:

        # Need to recompile any libpgport object files
        LIBS := $(filter-out -lpgport, $(LIBS))

and adding infrastructure to recompile the object files:

        OBJS= execute.o typename.o descriptor.o data.o error.o prepare.o memory.o \
                connect.o misc.o path.o exec.o \
                $(filter strlcat.o, $(LIBOBJS))

The problem is that there is no testing of which object files need to be
added, but missing functions usually show up when linking user
applications.

2) For applications, we use -lpgport before -lpq, so the static files
from libpgport are linked first.  This avoids having applications
dependent on symbols that are _used_ by libpq, but not intended to be
exported by libpq.  libpq's libpgport usage changes over time, so such a
dependency is a problem.  Windows, Linux, and macOS use an export
list to control the symbols exported by libpq.
