Fix incorrect error message for IDENTIFY_SYSTEM

Commit 5a991ef8692e accidentally reversed the order of the tuples
and fields parameters, making the error message incorrectly refer
to 3 tuples with 1 field when IDENTIFY_SYSTEM returns 1 tuple and
3 or 4 fields. Fix by changing the order of the parameters.  This
also adds a comment describing why we check for < 3 when postgres
since 9.4 has been sending 4 fields.

Backpatch all the way since the bug is almost a decade old.
