Interestingly, when I don't set PGPORT, PGHOST I get the same error
with the C program. The patch fixes the problem.

Per the documentation [1], "PQgetResult must be called repeatedly
until it returns a null pointer, indicating that the command is
done.". The code in PQgetResult() under CONNECTION_CHECK_WRITABLE
case, violates that. The patch fixes it. The patch however jumps to
keep_going without changing conn->status, which means that it will end
up again in the same case. While that's fine, may be we should use a
local loop on PQgetResult() to keep the code readable.

I would have added a test with the patch, but it seems we don't have
much tests in interfaces/libpq. The bug is pretty trivial and would
have been caught easily had we had any tests.
