psql \dew outputs the owner, which in the case of a built-in FDW is the
bootstrap superuser, which is not a stable name. I used the prefix to
exclude the built-in FDW -- if you have a better suggestion, please let
me know. (Though reading below, we might not even want a built-in FDW.)

I introduced that based on this comment[1].

I also thought it fit with your previous suggestion to make it work
with postgres_fdw, but I suppose it's not required. We could just not
offer the built-in FDW, and expect users to either use postgres_fdw or
create their own dummy FDW.

Thank you, I'll include it in the next patch set.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean here, but I am open to test
simplifications if you see an opportunity.
