    Rename EXPLAIN ANALYZE's "total runtime" output to "execution time". · 5f86cbd7

    Now that EXPLAIN also outputs a "planning time" measurement, the use of
    "total" here seems rather confusing: it sounds like it might include the
    planning time which of course it doesn't.  Majority opinion was that
    "execution time" is a better label, so we'll call it that.
    
    This should be noted as a backwards incompatibility for tools that examine
    EXPLAIN ANALYZE output.
    
    In passing, I failed to resist the temptation to do a little editing on the
    materialized-view example affected by this change.
