We don't want the queryId copied when a view/rule is reloaded,
since there's no guarantee that the algorithm for computing it
is stable for the life of a PG major version. Instead it's reset
to zero on reload, and any plugins that care can recompute it.
I suppose we could print it anyway and then ignore it on reload
but what's the point of that?
