I like the feature - and I wanted to commit it, but enough stuff turned
up that I needed to fix that it warrants some new testing.

Stuff I've changed:
* removed include of limits.h - that probably was a rememnant from a
  previous version
* removed a trailing whitespace
* expanded the documentation about %l. "The current line number" isn't
  very clear. Of a file? Of all lines ever entered in psql? It's now
  "The line number inside the current statement, starting from
  <literal>1</>."
* Correspondingly I've changed the variable's name to stmt_lineno.
* COPY FROM ... STDIN/PROMPT3 was broken because a) the promp was only generated
  once b) the lineno wasn't incremented.
* CTRL-C didn't reset the line number.
*  Unfortunately I've notice here that the prompting is broken in some
common cases:

postgres[1]=# SELECT 1,
postgres[2]-# '2
postgres[2]'# 2b
postgres[2]'# 2c
postgres[2]'# 2d',
postgres[3]-# 3;
┌──────────┬──────────┬──────────┐
│ ?column? │ ?column? │ ?column? │
├──────────┼──────────┼──────────┤
│        1 │ 2       ↵│        3 │
│          │ 2b      ↵│          │
│          │ 2c      ↵│          │
│          │ 2d       │          │
└──────────┴──────────┴──────────┘
(1 row)

postgres[1]=# SELECT 1,
'2
2b
2c
2d',
3
postgres[7]-#

That's rather inconsistent...


I've attached my version of the patch. Note that I've got rid of all the
PSCAN_INCOMPLETE checks... Please test!

Greetings,

Andres Freund
