Hm, right. Wouldn't be particularly consequential, but... I'd actually
consider just removing the if around
		/* If socket is ready, advance the libpq state machine */
		if (rc & io_flag)
			status = PQconnectPoll(conn->streamConn);
the only thing that protects us against is calling PQconnectPoll() when
the latch has been set. Hardly problematic.

Well, I'd have said, signal the one(s) back that have been
requested. But I'm ok with the current state, adding a bunch of
pointless branches didn't strike me as worthwhile...
