To illustrate what I mean, v3 introduces an initialization function
that names the three internal dependencies (libpq_gettext,
pg_g_threadlock, and conn->errorMessage) explicitly. I decided not to
attempt injecting the variadic libpq_append_conn_error function, and
instead focus a level below it, since we must depend directly on
libpq_gettext anyway.

This is maybe overkill, if it's decided that the two halves must
always come from the same build, but I think it should decouple the
two sides enough that this is now a question of user experience rather
than ABI correctness.

Is it acceptable/desirable for a build, which has not been configured
--with-libcurl, to still pick up a compatible OAuth implementation
installed by the distro? If so, we can go with a "bare" dlopen(). If
that's not okay, I think we will probably need to use pkglibdir or
some derivative, and introduce a way for tests (and users?) to
override that directory selection. Unless someone has a good idea on
how we can split the difference.
