Remove the datetime keywords ABSTIME and RELTIME, which we'd been treating as noise words for the last twelve years, for compatibility with Berkeley-era output formatting of the special INVALID values for those datatypes. Considering that the datatypes themselves have been deprecated for awhile, this is taking backwards compatibility a little far. Per gripe from Josh Berkus.
