Remember how we made DEFERRABLE/DEFERRED not print if the constraint was
the default. Shouldn't we do the same for MATCH and ON UPDATE/ON DELETE
sections of the constraint in pg_get_constraintdef()?

Doing \d I see:

test=> \d sales
Table "public.sales"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-------------------+---------+-----------
product_id | integer | not null
store_id | integer | not null
quantity_sold | integer | not null
date_time_of_sale | date | not null
Foreign Key constraints: $1 FOREIGN KEY (product_id) REFERENCES
products(product_id) ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION,
$2 FOREIGN KEY (store_id) REFERENCES
stores(store_id) ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION

If NO ACTION is the default, is there a need to print them? This would
also shorten pg_dump output.
