Allow "dbname" from connection string to be overridden in PQconnectDBParams
If the "dbname" attribute in PQconnectDBParams contained a connection string or URI (and expand_dbname = TRUE), the database name from the connection string could not be overridden by a subsequent "dbname" keyword in the array. That was not intentional; all other options can be overridden. Furthermore, any subsequent "dbname" caused the connection string from the first dbname value to be processed again, overriding any values for the same options that were given between the connection string and the second dbname option. In the passing, clarify in the docs that only the first dbname option in the array is parsed as a connection string. Alex Shulgin. Backpatch to all supported versions.
