Summary: SQL: timestampz width reported to narrow

Initial Comment:
The server reports the width of a timestamp column to narrow:

sql>select now();
+----------------------------+
| current_timestamp          |
+============================+
| 2009-12-01                 |
: 09:51:10.000000+00:00      :
+----------------------------+
1 tuple
sql>\fraw
sql>select now();
% . # table_name
% current_timestamp # name
% timestamptz # type
% 26 # length
[ 2009-12-01 09:52:06.000000+00:00      ]
sql>

26 is indeed too narrow, causing mclient to wrap the column needlessly.  The 
actual length is 32, it seems the timezone isn't counted.

The following demonstrates that the length is just wrong for timestamp with 
time zone fields:

sql>select cast(now() as timestamp with time zone);
+----------------------------+
| current_timestamp          |
+============================+
| 2009-12-01                 |
: 09:55:00.000000+00:00      :
+----------------------------+
1 tuple
sql>select cast(now() as timestamp);
+----------------------------+
| current_timestamp          |
+============================+
| 2009-12-01 09:55:05.000000 |
+----------------------------+
1 tuple
sql>

Message:
fixed in stable. Info on timezone is now correctly passed to the
export_length function.
No test needed as the timestamp.sql test allready covers this
