There are many places in this test program that need to consume a PGresult while checking that its PQresultStatus is as-expected, or related tasks such as checking that PQgetResult has nothing more to return. These tasks were open-coded in a rather inconsistent way, leading to some outright bugs, some memory leakage, and frequent inconsistencies about what would be reported in event of an error. Invent a few helper functions to standardize the behavior and reduce code duplication. Also, rename the one pre-existing helper function from confirm_query_canceled to consume_query_cancel, per Álvaro's suggestion that "confirm" is a poor choice of verb for a function that will discard the PGresult. While at it, clean up assorted other places that were leaking PGresults or even server connections. This is pure neatnik-ism, since the test doesn't run long enough for those leaks to be of any real-world concern. While this fixes some things that are clearly bugs, it's only a test program, and none of the bugs seem serious enough to justify back-patching.
