Hello.
I noticed that the precedence between host and hostaddr in a
connection string is reversed in regard to .pgpass lookup in
devel.
For example the following connection string uses a .pgpass entry
with "127.0.0.1", not "hoge".
"host=hoge hostaddr=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=postgres"
This change was introdueced by the commit
274bb2b3857cc987cfa21d14775cae9b0dababa5 and the current behavior
contradicts the documentation.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/libpq-connect.html
> hostaddr

I think this should be fixed for the same reason with the
following commit.

But the above also leaves a bug so I sent another patch to fix
it. The attched patch restores the 9.6's beavior of looking up
.pgpass file in the same manner to the aother patch.
