Hmmm ... I was thinking of PQresultErrorField, but you don't actually
get a PGresult from a connection failure, so that's no good :-(.
I suppose we need to think about extending libpq so that a SQLSTATE
can be retrieved for connection-level failures. That kinda moves
it out of the realm of bug-fix-for-beta though.
