Fix tracing of BackendKeyData and CancelRequest

BackendKeyData length was increased from 4 bytes to a variable-length
length (up to 256 bytes) in a460251f0a. However, pqTrace still traces
it as a 4 bytes key, leading to a "mismatched message length" warning
message. The same issue impacts the tracing of CancelRequest.

This patch fixes the issue by using pqTraceOutputNchar instead of
pqTraceOutputInt32 in both cases.
