Add %x to default PROMPT1 and PROMPT2 in psql

%d can be used to track if the current connection is in a transaction
block or not, and adding it by default to the prompt has the advantage
to not need a modification of .psqlrc, something not possible depending
on the environment.

This discussion has happened across various sources, and there was a
strong consensus in favor of this change.
