I looked at the use of 'debug_query_string';  I didn't see how
current_query() could access the more concise query string that is
stored in various structures (comment added);  it works now by accessing
the global variable 'debug_query_string'.

I think we should keep the use of 'debug_query_string' as output in the
server logs unchanged because we need all the queries printed in the
logs in one line.

I did update the comment next to debug_query_string to mention it is the
_client_ query string;  I am afraid renaming it to 'client_query_string'
would break 3rd party apps.
