Show more-intuitive titles for psql commands \dt, \di, etc.

Show more-intuitive titles for psql commands \dt, \di, etc. If exactly one relation type is requested in a command of the \dtisv family, say "tables", "indexes", etc instead of "relations". This should cover the majority of actual uses, without creating a huge number of new translatable strings. The error messages for no matching relations are adjusted as well. In passing, invent "pg_log_error_internal()" to be used for frontend error messages that don't seem to need translation, analogously to errmsg_internal() in the backend. The implementation is a bit cheesy, being just a macro to prevent xgettext from recognizing a trigger keyword. This won't avoid a useless gettext lookup cycle at runtime --- but surely we don't care about an extra microsecond or two in what's supposed to be a can't-happen case. I (tgl) also made "pg_fatal_internal()", though it's not used in this patch.
