Adjust parser so that POSTQUEL-style implicit RTEs are stored with

inFromCl true, meaning that they will list out as explicit RTEs if they
are in a view or rule.  Update comments about inFromCl to reflect the way
it's now actually used.  Per recent discussion.

By default, we now generate an error if a table is used in a query
without a <command>FROM</> reference. The old behavior is still
without a <literal>FROM</> reference. The old behavior is still
available, but the parameter must be set to 'true' to obtain it.

It may be necessary to set <varname>add_missing_from</> to true
in order to load an existing dump file, if the dump contains any
views or rules created using the implicit-<literal>FROM</> syntax.
This should be a one-time annoyance, because
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> 8.1 will convert
such views and rules to standard explicit-<literal>FROM</> syntax.
Subsequent dumps will therefore not have the problem.
