Change EDITOR_LINENUMBER_SWITCH to an environment variable

Also change "switch" to "arg" because "switch" is a bit of a sloppy
term.  So the environment variable is called
PSQL_EDITOR_LINENUMBER_ARG.  Set "+" as hardcoded default value on
Unix (since "vi" is the hardcoded default editor), so many users won't
have to configure this at all.  Move the documentation around a bit to
centralize the editor configuration under environment variables,
rather than repeating bits of it under every backslash command that
invokes an editor.
