How about adding the warning message in pgfdw_abort_cleanup instead of
pgfdw_get_cleanup_result?
Just before this in pgfdw_abort_cleanup seems better to me.

if (PQtransactionStatus(entry->conn) == PQTRANS_ACTIVE &&
!pgfdw_cancel_query(entry->conn))
return; /* Unable to cancel running query */
if (!pgfdw_exec_cleanup_query(entry->conn, sql, false))
return;

Yeah, this seems to be an opportunity. But, the function should deal
with the timeout separately, I'm concerned that the function will
eventually be having if (timeout_param_specified) { } else { } sort
of code. We can see how much duplicate code we save here vs the
readability or complexity that comes with the single function.
