Escalate ERRORs during async notify processing to FATAL Previously, if async notify processing encountered an error, we would report the error to the client and advance our read position past the offending entry to prevent trying to process it over and over again. Trying to continue after an error has a few problems however: - We have no way of telling the client that a notification was lost. They get an ERROR, but that doesn't tell you much. As such, it's not clear if keeping the connection alive after losing a notification is a good thing. Depending on the application logic, missing a notification could cause the application to get stuck waiting, for example. - If the connection is idle, PqCommReadingMsg is set and any ERROR is turned into FATAL anyway. - We bailed out of the notification processing loop on first error without processing any subsequent notifications. The subsequent notifications would not be processed until another notify interrupt arrives. For example, if there were two notifications pending, and processing the first one caused an ERROR, the second notification would not be processed until someone sent a new NOTIFY. This commit changes the behavior so that any ERROR while processing async notifications is turned into FATAL, causing the client connection to be terminated. That makes the behavior more consistent as that's what happened in idle state already, and terminating the connection is a clear signal to the application that it might've missed some notifications. The reason to do this now is that the next commits will change the notification processing code in a way that would make it harder to skip over just the offending notification entry on error.
