Improve new wording of libpq's connection failure messages.

"connection to server so-and-so failed:" seems clearer than the
previous wording "could not connect to so-and-so:" (introduced by
52a10224e), because the latter suggests a network-level connection
failure. We're now prefixing this string to all types of connection
failures, for instance authentication failures; so we need wording
that doesn't imply a low-level error.

Per discussion with Robert Haas.
