Invent GENERIC_PLAN option for EXPLAIN.

This provides a very simple way to see the generic plan for a
parameterized query.  Without this, it's necessary to define
a prepared statement and temporarily change plan_cache_mode,
which is a bit tedious.

One thing that's a bit of a hack perhaps is that we disable
execution-time partition pruning when the GENERIC_PLAN option
is given.  That's because the pruning code may attempt to
fetch the value of one of the parameters, which would fail.
