We have SQLSTATE, but this seems to be one of those situations where
we've been sloppy about using the right value.  We seem to be using
'08P01' (protocol_violation), which is also used for finding the
wrong bytes on a working connection.  It seems to me a broken
connection is exactly the case where you would expect to see '08006'
(connection_failure).  FWIW, there are also specific exceptions for
rejecting a connection attempt, and for attempting to send something
when no connection exists.
 
We don't need to invent new mechanisms for categorizing messages; we
just need to start consistently using the one we have correctly.
