libpq: Allow connection strings and URIs to specify multiple hosts.
Robert Haas <rhaas@postgresql.org>
libpq: Allow connection strings and URIs to specify multiple hosts. It's also possible to specify a separate port for each host. Previously, we'd loop over every address returned by looking up the host name; now, we'll try every address for every host name. Patch by me. Victor Wagner wrote an earlier patch for this feature, which I read, but I didn't use any of his code. Review by Mithun Cy.
