pgsql: Distinguish between AcquireExternalFD and epoll_create1 / kqueue - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Distinguish between AcquireExternalFD and epoll_create1 / kqueue failing

The error messages in CreateWaitEventSet() made it hard to know whether the
syscall or AcquireExternalFD() failed. This is particularly relevant because
AcquireExternalFD() imposes a lower limit than what would cause syscalls fail
with EMFILE.

I did not change the message in libpqsrv_connect_prepare(), which is the one
other use of AcquireExternalFD() in our codebase, as the error message already
is less ambiguous.
