Yeah, the dblink code should probably try a bit harder to propagate the
original error fields.  I'm inclined to think that it should propagate
sqlstate/message/detail/hint verbatim, and indicate the fact that this
happened on a dblink connection as CONTEXT, rather than structuring the
ereport the way it does now.  Joe, what do you think?
