Done (and more tests added), v3 attached.

Subject: [PATCH v3] Log query parameters in auto_explain

Add an auto_explain.log_parameter_max_length config setting, similar
to the corresponding core setting, that controls the inclusion of
query parameters in the logged explain output.

Also adjust the tests to only look at the relevant parts of the log
for each query, and tho reset the GUCs after each test.
