Well, turns out there isn't really any way to preserve complete
backwards compatibility if we want to do this change.

The attached patch (based on Pavel's patch) changes the default to be
slightly more verbose (the CONTEXT lines which were previously omitted
will be visible), but adds a new PGVerbosity called COMPACT which
suppresses CONTEXT in non-error messages. Now DEFAULT will be more
useful when debugging PL/PgSQL, and people who are annoyed by the new
behaviour can use the COMPACT mode.

Any thoughts?
