Fix lo_import and lo_export to return useful error messages more often.

tglsfdc · tglsfdc · commit c5b8daa08d9a · 2012-10-08T21:52:42.000-04:00
I found that these functions tend to return -1 while leaving an empty error
message string in the PGconn, if they suffer some kind of I/O error on the
file.  The reason is that lo_close, which thinks it's executed a perfectly
fine SQL command, clears the errorMessage.  The minimum-change workaround
is to reorder operations here so that we don't fill the errorMessage until
after lo_close.
