Tom Lane 15be274601 Avoid misleading psql password prompt when username is multiply specified.
When a password is needed, cases such as
	psql -d "postgresql://alice@localhost/testdb" -U bob
would incorrectly prompt for "Password for user bob: ", when actually the
connection will be attempted with username alice.  The priority order of
which name to use isn't that important here, but the misleading prompt is.

When we are prompting for a password after initial connection failure,
we can fix this reliably by looking at PQuser(conn) to see how libpq
interpreted the connection arguments.  But when we're doing a forced
password prompt because of a -W switch, we can't use that solution.
Fortunately, because the main use of -W is for noninteractive situations,
it's less critical to produce a helpful prompt in such cases.  I made
the startup prompt for -W just say "Password: " all the time, rather
than expending extra code on trying to identify which username to use.
In the case of a \c command (after -W has been given), there's already
logic in do_connect that determines whether the "dbname" is a connstring
or URI, so we can avoid lobotomizing the prompt except in cases that
are actually dubious.  (We could do similarly in startup.c if anyone
complains, but for now it seems not worthwhile, especially since that
would still be only a partial solution.)

Per bug #15025 from Akos Vandra.  Although this is arguably a bug fix,
it doesn't seem worth back-patching.  The case where it matters seems
like a very corner-case usage, and someone might complain that we'd
changed the behavior of -W in a minor release.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
