AFAIR, in the discussion about naming of the new FDW, another
name postgres_fdw was suggested as well as postgresql_fdw, and
I chose longer one at that time. Perhaps only a few people
feel that "postgres" is shortened name of postgresql. How
about using postgres_fdw for PG-FDW?

Once we chose the different name, postgresql_fdw_validator can
be live with postgres_fdw, though their names seem little
confusing.

In addition, it would be worth mentioning that it's not
recommended to use postgresql_fdw_validator as validator of a
third-party's FDW to avoid dependency.
