Add \gdesc psql command.

This command acts somewhat like \g, but instead of executing the query
buffer, it merely prints a description of the columns that the query
result would have. (Of course, this still requires parsing the query;
if parse analysis fails, you get an error anyway.) We accomplish this
using an unnamed prepared statement, which should be invisible to psql
users.
