Re: psql's FETCH_COUNT (cursor) is not being respected for CTEs

Thanks for the patch! I've tested it using my original reproducer and
it works great now against the original problem description. I've
taken a quick look at the patch, it looks good for me. I've tested
using -Werror for both gcc 10.2 and clang 11.0 and it was clean. I
have one slight doubt:

when I run with default pager (more or less):
\set FETCH_COUNT 1000
WITH data AS (SELECT  generate_series(1, 20000000) as Total) select
repeat('a',100) || data.Total || repeat('b', 800) as total_pat from
data;
-- it enters pager, a skip couple of pages and then "q"

.. then - both backend and psql - go into 100% CPU as it were still
receiving (that doesn't happen e.g. with export PAGER=cat).  So I'm
not sure, maybe ExecQueryAndProcessResults() should somewhat faster
abort when the $PAGER is exiting normally(?).

And oh , btw, in v6-0001 (so if you would be sending v7 for any other
reason -- other reviewers -- maybe worth realigning it as detail):

+  int PQsetChunkedRowsMode(PGconn *conn,
+                           int maxRows);

but the code has (so "maxRows" != "chunkSize"):

+PQsetChunkedRowsMode(PGconn *conn, int chunkSize)
