Build src/common files as a library with -fPIC.

Build a third version of libpgcommon.a, with -fPIC and -DFRONTEND,
as commit ea53100 did for src/port.  Use that in libpq to avoid
symlinking+rebuilding source files retail.

Also adjust ecpg to use the new src/port and src/common libraries.

Arrange to install these libraries, too, to simplify out-of-tree
builds of shared libraries that need any of these modules.
