Add PQping and PQpingParams to libpq to allow detection of the server's
status, including a status where the server is running but refuses a
postgres connection.
Have pg_ctl use this new function. This fixes the case where pg_ctl
reports that the server is not running (cannot connect) but in fact it
is running.
