I played with some prototype and I am thinking so we need only one GUC

plpgsql.display_context_messages = 'none'; -- compatible with current
plpgsql.display_context_messages = 'all';
plpgsql.display_context_messages = 'exception, log'; -- what I prefer

I implemented [ (WITH|WITHOUT) CONTEXT ] clause for RAISE statement

RAISE NOTICE WITH CONTEXT 'some message';
RAISE NOTICE WITH CONTEXT USING message = 'some message';
RAISE EXCEPTION WITHOUT CONTEXT 'other message';

The patch is very small with full functionality (without documentation) - I
am thinking so it can work. This patch is back compatible - and allow to
change default behave simply.

plpgsql.display_context_messages can be simplified to some like
plpgsql.display_context_min_messages

What do you think about it?
