Teach pgindent to skip files generated by bison or flex automatically.
If a .c or .h file corresponds to a .y or .l file, skip indenting it. There's no point in reindenting derived files, and these files tend to confuse pgindent. (Which probably indicates a bug in BSD indent, but I can't get excited about trying to fix it.) For the same reasons, add src/backend/utils/fmgrtab.c to the set of files excluded by src/tools/pgindent/exclude_file_patterns. The point of doing this is that it makes it safe to run pgindent over the tree without doing "make maintainer-clean" first. While these are not the only derived .c/.h files in the tree, they are the only ones pgindent fails on. Removing that prerequisite step results in one less way to mess up a pgindent run, and it's necessary if we ever hope to get to the ease of running pgindent via "make indent".
