Adds a new public method to retrieve the current transaction status of the client connection. Returns 'I' (idle), 'T' (in transaction), 'E' (error/aborted), or null (initial state/native client). The transaction status is tracked from PostgreSQL's ReadyForQuery message after each query completes. Native client returns null as it does not support this feature yet.
- Add getTransactionStatus() to pg-native using libpq's PQtransactionStatus() with status mapping (0->I, 2->T, 3->E) - Update pg native client wrapper to delegate to pg-native - Remove native guard from txstatus tests (now runs in both modes) - Bump libpq to ^1.10.0 for transactionStatus() binding support

| - `'I'` - Idle (not in a transaction) | ||
| - `'T'` - Transaction active (BEGIN has been issued) | ||
| - `'E'` - Error (transaction aborted, requires ROLLBACK) | ||
| - `null` - Initial state or not supported (native client) |
| await client.end() | ||

| **Note:** This method is not supported in the native client and will always return `null`. |
