This is based on @travismiller's idea to disable DNS resolution in case of "service" parameter is used. ged#635 (comment) Since pg-1.3 the DNS resolution is done non-blocking in ruby. But pg-1.3 changed the order parameters are processed from: connection string => service file => environment variable => compiled default to: connection string => PGSERVICE => environment variable => compiled default => explicit "service" This commit changes parameter processing order back to libpq's order. Using blocking IO for DNS resolution in case of "service" parameter seems to be a reasonable tradeoff. Fixes ged#635

Fixes #635
