Which are the older completions that offer "UPDATE TO"? I don't see any.

I think it makes sense to send UPDATE TO as a single completion in places
where no valid command can have the UPDATE without the TO. CREATE RULE foo AS
ON UPDATE TO is a candidate, though CREATE RULE completion doesn't do that
today. "ALTER EXTENSION hstore UPDATE;" is a valid command (updates to the
control file default version). Hence, I think the v14 behavior was better.
