psql: add \create_function command - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Currently a function definition must include its body inline. Because of this, when storing function definitions in files, linters and syntax highlighters for non-SQL languages (python, perl, tcl, etc) won't work. An example can be seen on:

https://github.com/postgres/postgres/blob/5eafacd2797dc0b04a0bde25fbf26bf79903e7c2/src/pl/plpython/sql/plpython_test.sql#L15-L24

To solve the above issue, this patch adds a psql command to create a function and obtain its body from another file. It is used as:

\create_function from ./data/max.py max(int,int) returns int LANGUAGE plpython3u

Its design is similar to the `\copy` command, which is a frontend version of the COPY statement.

This patch is at an initial stage but includes tests with plpython3u, pltcl, plperl and tab completion.

Any feedback is welcomed.

Best regards,
