Removing is_pg_dbname alltogether,using postgres API. (Closes: #1660) (#1803)

The problem is that check_pgsql validates the Database name and has different 
assumptions
that postgres itself.

I fail to see a reason to validate the database name here. Postgres'es API 
should
do this - So i would suggest a fix like this by removing is_pg_dbname 
alltogether.
