Introduce a psql "\connect -reuse-previous=on|off" option.
The decision to reuse values of parameters from a previous connection
has been based on whether the new target is a conninfo string.  Add this
means of overriding that default.  This feature arose as one component
of a fix for security vulnerabilities in pg_dump, pg_dumpall, and
pg_upgrade, so back-patch to 9.1 (all supported versions).  In 9.3 and
later, comment paragraphs that required update had already-incorrect
claims about behavior when no connection is open; fix those problems.
