I think we shouldn't list this under the libpq changes and shouldn't
mention libpq in the description, since this patch changes
src/backend/libpq files instead of src/interfaces/libpq files. I think
it should be in the "General performance" section and describe the
change as something like the below:

Improve performance when transferring large blocks of data to a client

PS. I completely understand that this was not clear from the commit message.
