libpq: Use strerror_r instead of strerror

petere · petere · commit 1e666fd7c6d3 · 2024-07-28T09:23:24.000+02:00
Commit 453c468 introduced a use of strerror() into libpq, but that is not thread-safe. Fix by using strerror_r() instead. In passing, update some of the code comments added by 453c468, as we have learned more about the reason for the change in OpenSSL that started this.
