Hmm, but it must not be quite the same, because that didn't require
the silent_error_while_idle flag.

Is there a way that errstart() and/or errfinish() can know enough
about the state of the communication with the frontend to decide
whether to suppress edata->output_to_client?  In other words, instead
of explicitly passing in a flag that says whether to inform the
client, it would be better for the error-reporting machinery to
intrinsically know whether it's right to send_message_to_frontend().
Otherwise, an error thrown from an unexpected location might not have
the flag set correctly.
