I am feeling consensus on removing source of PL from \dt+. There is partial
consensus on saving this field (renamed) for C and internal language. I am
not sure about consensus about \sf enhancing.

First point is almost clean -- others not, but is not necessary do it now.
Who needs some special functionality, he can do direct query on pg_proc. It
is not mayor functionality - there is more than one possible substitution -
so cleaning without any other changes should be ok too.
