some unrelated minor psql cleanup. Per suggestion from Stuart Cooper.

history customizable through a variable named HISTFILE, analogous to
psql's already implemented HISTCONTROL and HISTSIZE variables, and
bash's HISTFILE-Variable.

The motivation was to be able to get psql to maintain separate
histories for separate databases.  This is now easily achievable
through a line like the following in ~/.psqlrc:

\set HISTFILE ~/.psql_history-:DBNAME

psql.  i.e. "\pset format troff-ms".  The patch also corrects some
problems with the "latex" format, notably defining an extra column in
the output table, and correcting some alignment issues; it also
changes the output to match the border setting as documented in the
manual page and as shown with the "aligned" format.

The troff-ms output is mostly identical to the latex output allowing
for the differences between the two typesetters.

The output should be saved in a file and piped as follows:

  cat file | tbl | troff -T ps -ms > file.ps
or
  tbl file | troff -T ps -ms > file.ps

Because it contains tabs, you'll need to redirect psql output or use
"script", rather than pasting from a terminal window, due to the tabs
which can be replaced with spaces.

There are various things left to do: contrib dbsize and oid2name modules
need work, and so does the documentation.  Also someone should think about
COMMENT ON TABLESPACE and maybe RENAME TABLESPACE.  Also initlocation is
dead, it just doesn't know it yet.

	FORCE QUOTE to force quotes
	FORCE NOT NULL to quote null input values

This adds new keywords to COPY and \copy:

        CSV - enable CSV mode (comma separated variable)
        QUOTE - specify quote character
        ESCAPE - specify escape character
        FORCE - force quoting of specified column
	LITERAL - suppress null comparison for columns

Doc changes included.  Regression updates coming from Andrew.
