O.K. -
Here's the multibyte aware version of my patch to fix the truncation
of the rulename autogenerated during a CREATE VIEW. I've modified all
the places in the backend that want to construct the rulename to use
the MakeRetrieveViewRuleName(), where I put the #ifdef MULTIBYTE, so
that's the only place that knows how to construct a view rulename. Except
pg_dump, where I replicated the code, since it's a standalone binary.

The only effect the enduser will see is that views with names len(name)
> NAMEDATALEN-4 will fail to be created, if the derived rulename clases
with an existing rule: i.e. the user is trying to create two views with
long names whose first difference is past NAMEDATALEN-4 (but before
NAMEDATALEN: that'll error out after the viewname truncation.) In no
case will the user get left with a table without a view rule, as the
current code does.

I haven't tested the MULTIBYTE part. Could you give it a quick once over?
