Re: Properly page footers in psql

Nice improvement. Applied.

We do check the length because most pagers require you to quit them, and
if it is only a few lines, it is a pain to exit. Some pagers will only
as for a quite if the contents overflow the page, but not all of them,
and we have no way of knowing if the pager they are using does this.
