    Limit overall indentation in rule/view dumps. · 0601cb54

    Continuing to indent no matter how deeply nested we get doesn't really
    do anything for readability; what's worse, it results in O(N^2) total
    whitespace, which can become a performance and memory-consumption issue.
    
    To address this, once we get past 40 characters of indentation, reduce
    the indentation step distance 4x, and also limit the maximum indentation
    by reducing it modulo 40.  This latter choice is a bit weird at first
    glance, but it seems to preserve readability better than a simple cap
    would do.
    
    Back-patch to 9.3, because since commit 62e66640 the performance issue
    is a hazard for pg_dump.
