Script binaries renaming

[Bruce Momjian <bruce(at)momjian(dot)us>]

Where are we on this?  Tom thinks we don't want this.  TODO has:

      * Prefix command-line utilities like createuser with 'pg_'
        http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-06/msg00025.php

See for reference:

	http://momjian.us/mhonarc/patches/468BB6FB(dot)8050102(at)sun(dot)com(dot)html

One idea is to keep the existing commands and just add pg_* (or pg*) to
additional versions, with the idea that the original versions will be
removed some day.
