Commit dc227eb82 introduced a restriction on libpq that no functions which invoke exit() are allowed to be called. This was further refined and fixed in e45b0dfa1f and 2f7bae2f92 and 792259591. While this is well documented in the Makefile, the error message emitted when the check failed was terse, without hints for new developers without prior context. This adds an error hint to assist new developers onboarding to postgres.
