psql: Add %i prompt escape to indicate hot standby status.

This commit introduces a new prompt escape %i for psql, which shows
whether the connected server is operating in hot standby mode. It
expands to standby if the server reports in_hot_standby = on, and
primary otherwise.

This is useful for distinguishing standby servers from primary ones
at a glance, especially when working with multiple connections in
replicated environments where libpq's multi-host connection strings
are used.
