The list of connection statuses that PQstatus might return during an
asynchronous connection attempt was outdated:

1. CONNECTION_SETENV is never returned anymore and is only part of the
   enum for backwards compatibility, so remove it from the docs.
2. CONNECTION_CHECK_STANDBY and CONNECTION_GSS_STARTUP were not listed,
   so add them.

CONNECTION_NEEDED and CONNECTION_CHECK_TARGET are not listed in the docs
on purpose, since these are internal states that can never be observed
by a caller of PQstatus.
