Just a reminder that I'm standing by for advice.

The issue at hand is whether the if-state should be a part of the
PsqlScanState, or if it should be a separate state variable owned by
MainLoop() and passed to HandleSlashCommands(), ... or some other solution.

Commits

  1. Support \if ... \elif ... \else ... \endif in psql scripting.

  2. Add a "void *" passthrough pointer for psqlscan.l's callback functions.
