ISTM this was proposed once before, and rejected on the grounds that
no one could present a convincing use case. Exactly where is there
an application that will support both threaded and nonthreaded libpq
*at run time*? Is there a point in checking the thread-safety of
libpq when you can't check the thread-safety of libc?
BTW, an acceptable patch that changes libpq's API would require
documentation and exports.txt updates...
