I reviewed v12 patch. It provides gset command which works
consistently with other psql commands, such as \g and \set, and
implementation seems reasonable, and follows other reviewer's comments
properly. I think we can mark it as "ready for committer", once you
have fixed some minor issues below.

* Skipping leading blank in inner while loop of command.c seems
unnecessary, because (IIUC) psql's scanner skips blanks. Is there any
case that scanner returns token with leading/trailing blank?
* ISTM that VARLIST_INITIAL can be removed. AFAIS it's same state as
VARLIST_EXPECTED_COMMA_OR_IDENT.
* I found some cosmetic flaw and typo. Please see attached patch for details.
* How about pulling up codes for PGRES_TUPLES_OK case in
StoreQueryResult to new static function, say StoreQueryTuple? It
would make StoreQueryResult more similar to PrintQueryResult's style,
and IMO it makes the code more readable.
