When using the "service" parameter in a libpq connection (e.g., psql
service=foo), and the service name is not defined in pg_service.conf,
then the setting is silently ignored and the connection proceeds with
whatever other settings and defaults apply.  That does not look very
robust.  Shouldn't there be an error when a specified service name does
not exist?
