Cosmetic improvements in ltree code.

tglsfdc · tglsfdc · commit 2743d9ae4a49 · 2020-03-29T19:14:15.000-04:00
Add more comments in ltree.h, and correct a misstatement or two.

Use a symbol, rather than hardwired constants, for the maximum length
of an ltree label.  The max length is still hardwired in the associated
error messages, but I want to clean that up as part of a separate patch
to improve the error messages.
