psql: Add \gx command
It can often be useful to use expanded mode output (\x) for just a
single query. Introduce a \gx which acts exactly like \g except that it
will force expanded output mode for that one \gx call. This is simpler
than having to use \x as a toggle and also means that the user doesn't
have to worry about the current state of the expanded variable, or
resetting it later, to ensure a given query is always returned in
expanded mode.
Primairly Christoph's patch, though I did tweak the documentation and help
text a bit, and re-indented the tab completion section.
