List schema contents

Currently, the only way to get a listing of tables in a schema via psql
is to modify your search_path, which is both non-intuitive and a PITA.
You can do \d schemaname., but that's the equivalent of

set search_path = schemaname
\d *

I'd like to propose that the behavior of \d schemaname. be changed to
match

set search_path = schemaname
\d

That avoids issues with table name conflicts that could arise if the
trailing . wasn't required. And the old behavior is still available as
\d schemaname.*

One problem I see is that this will break the ability to search for
tablename. via regex. Since that's easy to do via tablename?, I don't
think it's a big deal, unless someone has better ideas on how to
indicate we want to list something for a specific schema.
