Pushed, after retesting on macOS (with the fixed pspg that has by now
arrived in MacPorts), FreeBSD and Linux.  Thanks!  I'm using this to
monitor system views when demoing new features in development, it's
nice.  Of course, I don't like the default theme, it's a bit too
MS-DOS/Norton for my taste, but the quieter themes are good :-)

Commits

  1. Fix \watch's interaction with libedit on ^C.

  2. Add PSQL_WATCH_PAGER for psql's \watch command.

  3. psql: Show all query results by default

  4. Add a comment warning against use of pg_usleep() for long sleeps.
