Use 'void *' for arbitrary buffers, 'uint8 *' for byte arrays

A 'void *' argument suggests that the caller might pass an arbitrary
struct, which is appropriate for functions like libc's read/write, or
pq_sendbytes(). 'uint8 *' is more appropriate for byte arrays that
have no structure, like the cancellation keys or SCRAM tokens. Some
places used 'char *', but 'uint8 *' is better because 'char *' is
commonly used for null-terminated strings. Change code around SCRAM,
MD5 authentication, and cancellation key handling to follow these
conventions.
