Although there are good reasons for our policy of including postgres.h
as the first #include in every .c file, never from .h files, there are
two places where it seems expedient to violate the policy because the
alternative is to modify externally-supplied .c files.  (In the case
of the regexp library, the idea that it's externally-supplied is kind
of at odds with reality, but I haven't entirely given up hope that it
will become a standalone project some day.)  Add some comments to make
it explicit that this is a policy violation and provide the reasoning.

In passing, move #include "miscadmin.h" out of regcomp.c and into
regcustom.h, which is where it should be if we're taking this reasoning
seriously at all.
