One more thing.  I have added the code to suggest alternate syntax for
LIMIT #,#:

    test=> select * from pg_class LIMIT 1,1;
    ERROR:  LIMIT #,# syntax no longer supported.  Use LIMIT # OFFSET #.

If there are other queries that use syntax that frequently fails, I
would like to hear about it so we can generate a helpful error message
rather than just a generic syntax error.
