A some option via #option or GUC has sense for lower levels like
NOTICE or WARNING. For exception level CONTEXT should be filled every
time - usually you have a stack of CONTEXT calls, because exception
must not be on direct call, but the last CONTEXT (where exception was
created missing). It is confusing. When a advanced developer see a
exception without CONTEXT, then he know so exception is related to
RAISE statement, but still is not simple find a statement, that raised
exception - the line number is missing.

Compromise solution can be GUC where CONTEXT is default for ERROR level

like plpgsql.log_context_error_level = ERROR

A new option on RAISE STATEMENT is not well, usually you want to same
behave on complete application.
