db_postgres: Fix heap use after free error in db_postgres module

The result structure for a query holds a pointer returned by
PQfname. When sql_do_query executes the query it gets this
database result structure returned but the PQfname pointer
has already been free'd by a call to db_postgres_free_query
from within db_postgres_store_result.

sql_do_query then tries to copy the free'd string into another
result structure resulting in a heap use after free.

The fix here copies the PQfname result.
