Extend the abilities of libpq's target_session_attrs parameter.

In addition to the existing options of "any" and "read-write", we
now support "read-only", "primary", "standby", and "prefer-standby".
"read-write" retains its previous meaning of "transactions are
read-write by default", and "read-only" inverts that. The other
three modes test specifically for hot-standby status, which is not
quite the same thing. (Setting default_transaction_read_only on
a primary server renders it read-only to this logic, but not a
standby.)

Furthermore, if talking to a v14 or later server, no extra network
round trip is needed to detect the session's status; the GUC_REPORT
variables delivered by the server are enough. When talking to an
older server, a SHOW or SELECT query is issued to detect session
read-only-ness or server hot-standby state, as needed.
