This last one uses libpq_pipeline -t and verifies the output against an
expected trace file.  Applies on top of all the previous patches.  I
attach the whole lot, so that the CF bot has a chance to run it.

I did notice another problem for comparison of expected trace files,
which is that RowDescription includes table OIDs for some columns.  I
think we would need to have a flag to suppress that too, somehow,
although the answer to what should we do is not as clear as for the
other two cases.

I dodged the issue by just using -t for the pipeline cases that don't
have OIDs in their output.  This leaves us with no coverage for the
ErrorResponse message, which I think is a shortcoming.  If we fixed the
OID problem and the ErrorResponse problem, we could add an expected
trace for pipeline_abort.  I think we should do that.

Maybe the easiest way is to have a new flag PQTRACE_REGRESS_MODE.

Essentially, you're proposing Kevlar shoes as a solution for the problem
that you want to walk around carrying a loaded gun aimed at your foot.
