Add the ability to label a column's default value in the catalog header, and implement this for pg_attribute. A new function in Catalog.pm is used to fill in a tuple with defaults. The build process will complain loudly if a catalog entry is incomplete, Commit 8137f2c3 labeled variable length columns for the C preprocessor. Expose that label to genbki.pl so we can exclude those columns from schema macros in a general fashion. Also, format schema macro entries according to their types. This means slightly less code maintenance, but more importantly it's a proving ground for mechanisms intended to be used in later commits. While at it, I (Álvaro) couldn't resist making some changes in genbki.pl: rename some functions to actually indicate their purpose instead of actively misleading onlookers; and don't iterate on the whole of pg_type to find the entry for each catalog row, using a hash instead of an array.
