The attached patch fixes the generation of sql_help.h and perl_opmask.h to make
sure they conform to pgindent. Those were the only file I got diffs in after a
pgindent run apart from fmgrprotos.h which gave the below:

Not sure what pgindent is doing there, but it seems hard to address in the
generator.

probes.h is also added to the exclusion list in the patch. On that note, I
wonder if we should add the plperl .xs generated files as exclusions too since
we don't control that generator?
