NAMEDATALEN Changes

NAMEDATALEN's benchmarked are 32, 64, 128 and 512. Attached is the
shell script I used to do it.

First row of a set is the time(1) for the pgbench -i run, second is
the actual benchmark. Aside from the 'real' time of 64 there is a
distinct increase in time required, but not significant.

Benchmarks were run for 3000 transactions with scale factor of 5, but
only 1 client. If there is a preferred setting for pgbench I can do
an overnight run with it. Machine is a dual 500Mhz celery with 384MB
ram and 2 IBM Deskstars in Raid 0, and a seperate system drive.

Anything but 32 fails the 'name' check in the regression tests -- I
assume this is expected?

Don't know why 64 has a high 'real' time, but the system times are
appropriate.
