I was wondering if ON_ERROR_STOP tests were verbotten because you only get

doc/src/sgml/ref/psql-ref.sgml is the source for both html and man pagers.
I'm on it. I didn't expect the name "gexec" to survive first contact with
the community.
Patch attached. Changes are thus:
- proper assignment of success var
- added documentation to psql manpage/html with examples pulled from
regression tests.
Not changed are:
- exuberant braces, can remove if someone wants me to
- attempt at line-wrappng the enumerated slash commands, leave that to
pg_indent
