Fix crash when describing a FETCH statement whose cursor is gone

FetchStatementTargetList() dereferenced the portal named by a
FetchStmt without checking that it still exists.  With the extended
query protocol, a client can sent a Parse "FETCH n FROM c" while cursor
"c" is open (which caches a result's TupleDesc), issue a CLOSE on cursor
"c", and then Describe the prepared statement or a portal bound to it.

Describe would re-resolve the target list through the named cursor, and
crash.  In a non-assert builds, this causes a NULL pointer dereference.
An assertion was triggered in assert builds slightly before the pointer
dereference.

This commit changes the describe of a FetchStmt to match with the
ExecuteStmt case: if the named cursor's portal is invalid, fail rather
than assume that the portal should always exist.

A test case is added to libpq_pipeline, backpatchable all the way down.
