Commit 61461a300c1c introduced new functions to libpq for cancelling queries. This commit introduces a helper function that backend-side libraries and extensions can use to invoke those. This function takes a timeout and can itself be interrupted while it is waiting for a cancel request to be sent and processed, instead of being blocked. This replaces the usage of the old functions in postgres_fdw and dblink. Finally, it also adds some test coverage for the cancel support in postgres_fdw.
