Description:
------------
The function pgsql_stmt_get_column_meta (backend for getColumnMeta() doesn't 
cache or bulk request required data.

Nowadays many frameworks (I see this in Yii and Cake) abuse getColumnMeta() 
despite it's been marked experimental. In postgresql logs this looks like:

That's nothing for postgres, but quite a load for php and site. As PgFouine 
suggests I'm getting ~2kk such requests per hour:

Rank	Times executed	Total duration	Av. duration (s)	
1	2,237,202	4m49s		0.00	SELECT TYPNAME FROM PG_TYPE 
WHERE OID=0;
2	99,243		7.1s		0.00	DEALLOCATE pdo_stmt_00;

There would be much better to request all data at once, cache it and return 
afterwards. I considered session caching but this can break things if after some 
statement any type changes. Getting all data with "SELECT TYPNAME FROM PG_TYPE 
where OID IN (<id list>);" would be much faster.

If we cache meta info, we need configuration api for it.
