Fix assorted causes of segmentation fault. (Tatsuo Ishii)
It is reported that pgpool and its child process segfault in certain cases when failover involved.
Problem is reported and analyzed by Emond Papegaaij. Discussion: https://www.pgpool.net/pipermail/pgpool-general/2024-April/009131.html
Fix uninitialized memory error. (Tatsuo Ishii)
It was reported that valgrind found several errors including an uninitialized memory error in read_startup_packet. It allocates memory for user name in a startup packet in case cancel or SSL request using palloc, and later on the memory is used by pstrdup. Since memory allocated by palloc is undefined, this should have been palloc0.

Allow reset queries to run even if extended queries do not end. (Tatsuo Ishii)
Commit 240c668d caused reset queries fail if extended query messages do not end. This commit fix that by checking whether we are running reset queries in SimpleQuery(). Also add the test case for this.
Guard against inappropriate protocol data. (Tatsuo Ishii)
If a simple query message arrives before a sequence of extended query messages ends pgpool could hang. This is because the query context in the session context for the simple query is overwritten by the query contexts of the extended query messages.
This commit implements a guard in SimpleQuery() by checking whether extended query protocol messages ended. If they do not end, raise a FATAL error. A known example detected by this checking is JDBC driver's "autosave=always" option. This means pgpool will not accept the option after this commit until the issue (sending a simple protocol message before ending extended query message protocol) is fixed by the JDBC driver side.
