[PATCH v2 1/1] pgindent: Fix spacing after != when member name matches typedef.

When a struct member name matches a registered typedef, pgindent
removes the space after "!=" (and some other operators), like so:
entry->dsh.dsa_handle !=DSA_HANDLE_INVALID
The problem is that the related code in lexi.c sets last_u_d to
true before jumping to found_typename, causing the next operator to
be classified as unary and suppressing the following space. This
is correct for type names, but not for struct members. For
example, "Datum *x" needs "*" to be unary to suppress the space
before "x". To fix, only set last_u_d before jumping to
found_typename if the typedef name doesn't appear after "." or
"->".
Note that this does not bump INDENT_VERSION. We'll do that just
once after some other changes to pg_bsd_indent are committed.
