Postgres plugin

This plugin adds some aliases for useful Postgres commands.

:warning: this plugin works exclusively with Postgres installed via Homebrew on OSX because Postgres paths are hardcoded to /usr/local/var/postgres.

To use it, add postgres to the plugins array in your zshrc file:

plugins=(... postgres)
