Fix up some problems in handling of zic-style time zone names in datetime
...
input routines. Remove the former "DecodePosixTimezone" function in favor of
letting the zic code handle POSIX-style zone specs (see tzparse()). In
particular this means that "PST+3" now means the same as "-03", whereas it
used to mean "-11" --- the zone abbreviation is effectively just a noise word
in this syntax. Make sure that all named and POSIX-style zone names will be
parsed as a single token. Fix long-standing bogosities in printing and input
of fractional-hour timezone offsets (since the tzparse() code will accept
these, we'd better make 'em work). Also correct an error in the original
coding of the zic-zone-name patch: in "timestamp without time zone" input,
zone names are supposed to be allowed but ignored, but the coding was such
that the zone changed the interpretation anyway.

Revise psql pattern-matching switches as per discussion. The rule is now
...
to process all inclusion switches then all exclusion switches, so that the
behavior is independent of switch ordering.
Use of -T does not cause non-table objects to be suppressed. And
the patterns are now interpreted the same way psql's \d commands do it,
rather than as pure regex commands; this allows for example -t schema.tab
to do what it should have been doing all along. Re-enable the --blobs
switch to do something useful, ie, add back blobs into a dump they were
otherwise suppressed from.
