Waiting for PostgreSQL 19 – Add psql PROMPT variable for search_path.

On 28th of October 2025, Nathan Bossart committed patch:

Add psql PROMPT variable for search_path.
 
The new %S substitution shows the current value of search_path.
Note that this only works when connected to Postgres v18 or newer,
since search_path was first marked as GUC_REPORT in commit
28a1121fd9.  On older versions that don't report search_path, %S is
replaced with a question mark.
