474f825574 Add the new psql command \drds to the psql docs, help and tab completion.
I also thank Bernd Helmle for the documentation help on the previous settings
patch, which I forgot on the commit message.

249724cb01 Create an ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES command, which allows users to adjust
the privileges that will be applied to subsequently-created objects.

Such adjustments are always per owning role, and can be restricted to objects
created in particular schemas too.  A notable benefit is that users can
override the traditional default privilege settings, eg, the PUBLIC EXECUTE
privilege traditionally granted by default for functions.

20f7f019f9 Easier to translate psql help
Instead of requiring translators to translate the entire SQL command
synopses, change create_help.pl to only require them to translate the
placeholders, and paste those into the synopsis using a printf mechanism.
Make some small updates to the markup to make it easier to parse.

Note: This causes msgmerge of gettext 0.17 to segfault.  You will need
the patch from https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27474 to make it work.
msgmerge usually only runs on babel.postgresql.org, however.

92fc8b41e5 Add the long options to the psql --help display, where they were curiously
missing.

Since this touches most lines of the help output, also change the mix of
puts and printf calls to printf everywhere, for easier code editing and
reviewing.

9491c82f71 This makes all the \dX commands (most importantly to most: \df) work
like \dt does, in that it requires a \dXS to see system items.

cdc197cf31 Improve psql's \dC command to take a pattern parameter. Casts are shown
if their source or target types match the pattern (using the same definition
of "match" as \dT does).  Per recent discussion.

f7108ce06b Fix psql \h output for case of no parameters (ie, list all the known commands)
to format properly for the actually needed column width, instead of having
a hard-wired assumption about the longest command name length.  Also make it
respond to the current screen width.  In passing, const-ify the constant
table.

140d4ebcb4 Tsearch2 functionality migrates to core. The bulk of this work is by
Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, but I did a lot of editorializing,
so anything that's broken is probably my fault.

Documentation is nonexistent as yet, but let's land the patch so we can
get some portability testing done.

07bae9c099 Please find enclosed a patch that lets you use \c to connect
(optionally) to a new host and port without exiting psql.  This
eliminates, IMHO, a surprise in that you can now connect to PostgreSQL
on a differnt machine from the one where you started your session. This
should help people who use psql as an administrative tool.

4cb27fef0a o Improve psql's handling of multi-line statements
Currently, while \e saves a single statement as one entry, interactive
	statements are saved one line at a time.  Ideally all statements
	would be saved like \e does.
