Unless either Oskari or I screwed up, it should just have been a 1:1
translation from previous __attribute__((noreturn)) to
pg_attribute_noreturn. I looked through the commit just now and didn't
see any new locations.

Hm, I guess it should not look any worse than before? None of the
locations look like they've been introduced after the last pgindent
run. I only see plpgsql_yyerror, yyerror. That said, I see little reason
to add the noreturn thingy to the definition and not the declaration for
those.  It actually looks to me like there's a declaration for
replication_yyerror, but a plain yyerror is used instead in repl_scanner.l?
