pgsql: In pg_log_generic(), be more paranoid about preserving errno.

In pg_log_generic(), be more paranoid about preserving errno.

This code failed to account for the possibility that malloc() would
change errno, resulting in wrong output for %m, not to mention the
possibility of message truncation.  Such a change is obviously
expected when malloc fails, but there's reason to fear that on some
platforms even a successful malloc call can modify errno.
