PHP and PostgreSQL 8.5 compatibility

Hi everyone,

I'm glad to announce that the pgsql and PDO PHP extensions test suites
are now passing when used with 8.5-cvs. Mostly it was just a matter of
updating the tests themselves, but a bug in PDO_PgSQL dealing with the
new hex format affecting only the 5.2.x branch was fixed during the
process[1].

This means that most of the PHP applications should work fine with 8.5
when running recent enough PHP versions. The few that are using both PDO
and bytea fields will require a switch to 5.3 (or 5.2.13 whenever it
comes out).
