Not really going to work, at least not without a lot of fragile
kluges, because the main problem here is to prevent libpq from
*indirectly* calling those functions via stuff it imports from
src/port or src/common.

It's possible that we could make it work by generalizing the
policy that "libpq may not call abort/exit" into "no PG shlib
may call abort/exit", and then apply the cpp #defines while
compiling the xxx_shlib.o variants of those files.  This does
not seem more attractive than what I proposed, though.
