libpq: Add PQgetThreadLock() to mirror PQregisterThreadLock()
Allow libpq clients to retrieve the current pg_g_threadlock pointer with
PQgetThreadLock(). Single-threaded applications could already do this in
a convoluted way:
pgthreadlock_t tlock;
tlock = PQregisterThreadLock(NULL);
PQregisterThreadLock(tlock); /* re-register the callback */
/* use tlock */
But a generic library can't do that without potentially breaking
concurrent libpq connections.
The motivation for doing this now is the libpq-oauth plugin, which
currently relies on direct injection of pg_g_threadlock, and should
ideally not.
