request packet, use pqReadData().  This has the same effect since
conn->ssl isn't set yet and we aren't expecting more than one byte.
The advantage is that we will correctly detect loss-of-connection
instead of going into an infinite loop.  Per report from Hannu Krosing.

discussion on pgsql-hackers-win32 list.  Documentation still needs to
be tweaked --- I'm not sure how to refer to the APPDATA folder in
user documentation.

consistent.  On Unix we now always consult getpwuid(); $HOME isn't used
at all.  On Windows the code currently consults $USERPROFILE, or $HOME
if that's not defined, but I expect this will change as soon as the win32
hackers come to a consensus.  Nothing done yet about changing the file
names used underneath $USERPROFILE.

subroutine that can hide platform dependencies.  The WIN32 path is still
a stub, but I await a fix from one of the win32 hackers.
Also clean up unnecessary #ifdef WIN32 ugliness in a couple of places.
