Hi,

Commit 681daed9316 added EXPLAIN (IO) as a new boolean option, but
psql's tab completion was not updated to include it.

Currently:

    EXPLAIN (<Tab>      -- IO is not listed
  EXPLAIN (IO <Tab>   -- no ON/OFF offered

The attached patch adds IO to both the option keyword list and the
boolean ON/OFF completion pattern in tab-complete.in.c.

Thanks,
Afrah Razzak
