The problem is that some (including existing) pieces of code need to
include postgres.h itself, those can't easily include postgres_fe.h as
well without getting into problems with redefinitions. It seems the most
consistent to move all of that into c.h, enough of the assertion stuff
is already there, I don't see an advantage of splitting it across 3
files as it currently is.
