Pushed after some editorialization on the test case.

One thing I noticed while testing is that if you apply \df+ to an
aggregate function, it will show "Internal name" of "aggregate_dummy".
While that's an accurate description of what's in prosrc, it seems
not especially useful and perhaps indeed confusing to novices.
So I thought about suppressing it.  However, that would require
a server-version-dependent test and I wasn't quite convinced it'd
be worth the trouble.  Any thoughts on that?

  1. Show "internal name" not "source code" in psql's \df+ command.
