Change FK trigger naming convention to fix self-referential FKs.

Use names like "RI_ConstraintTrigger_a_NNNN" for FK action triggers and
"RI_ConstraintTrigger_c_NNNN" for FK check triggers. This ensures the
action trigger fires first in self-referential cases where the very same
row update fires both an action and a check trigger. This change provides
a non-probabilistic solution for bug #6268, at the risk that it could break
client code that is making assumptions about the exact names assigned to
auto-generated FK triggers. Hence, change this in HEAD only. No need for
forced initdb since old triggers continue to work fine.
