Thomas Munro 7c09d2797e Add PSQL_WATCH_PAGER for psql's \watch command.
Allow a pager to be used by the \watch command.  This works but isn't
very useful with traditional pagers like "less", so use a different
environment variable.  The popular open source tool "pspg" (also by
Pavel) knows how to display the output if you set PSQL_WATCH_PAGER="pspg
--stream".

To make \watch react quickly when the user quits the pager or presses
^C, and also to increase the accuracy of its timing and decrease the
rate of useless context switches, change the main loop of the \watch
command to use sigwait() rather than a sleeping/polling loop, on Unix.

Supported on Unix only for now (like pspg).
