I would like to explicitly mention in the commit message that "Tag for
included publications was a pre-existing behavior but it is better to
change it for making it consistent with excluded publications tag. So,
how about a commit message as follows: "psql: Improve describe footer
titles for publications.

The psql describe (`\d`) footer titles were previously unintuitive
when listing publications that included or excluded specific tables.
Even though the tag for included publications was pre-existing, it is
better to update it to "Included in publications:" to match the
phrasing of the "Excluded from publications:" tag.

Footer titles for sequence and schema descriptions have been updated
similarly to maintain consistency."
