Apply Tcl_Init() to the "hold" interpreter created by pltcl.

You might think this is unnecessary since that interpreter is never used
to run code --- but it turns out that's wrong.  As of Tcl 8.5, the "clock"
command (alone among builtin Tcl commands) is partially implemented by
loaded-on-demand Tcl code, which means that it fails if there's not
unknown-command support, and also that it's impossible to run it directly
in a safe interpreter.  The way they get around the latter is that
Tcl_CreateSlave() automatically sets up an alias command that forwards any
execution of "clock" in a safe slave interpreter to its parent interpreter.
Thus, when attempting to execute "clock" in trusted pltcl, the command
actually executes in the "hold" interpreter, where it will fail if
unknown-command support hasn't been introduced by sourcing the standard
init.tcl script, which is done by Tcl_Init().  (This is a pretty dubious
design decision on the Tcl boys' part, if you ask me ... but they didn't.)

Back-patch all the way.  It's not clear that anyone would try to use ancient
versions of pltcl with a recent Tcl, but it's not clear they wouldn't, either.
Also add a regression test using "clock", in branches that have regression
test support for pltcl.

Improve the handling of SET CONSTRAINTS commands by having them search
pg_constraint before searching pg_trigger.  This allows saner handling of
corner cases; in particular we now say "constraint is not deferrable"
rather than "constraint does not exist" when the command is applied to
a constraint that's inherently non-deferrable.  Per a gripe several months
ago from hubert depesz lubaczewski.

To make this work without breaking user-defined constraint triggers,
we have to add entries for them to pg_constraint.  However, in return
we can remove the pgconstrname column from pg_constraint, which represents
a fairly sizable space savings.  I also replaced the tgisconstraint column
with tgisinternal; the old meaning of tgisconstraint can now be had by
testing for nonzero tgconstraint, while there is no other way to get
the old meaning of nonzero tgconstraint, namely that the trigger was
internally generated rather than being user-created.

In passing, fix an old misstatement in the docs and comments, namely that
pg_trigger.tgdeferrable is exactly redundant with pg_constraint.condeferrable.
Actually, we mark RI action triggers as nondeferrable even when they belong to
a nominally deferrable FK constraint.  The SET CONSTRAINTS code now relies on
that instead of hard-coding a list of exception OIDs.
