psql: Don't do backquote expansion in \unrestrict.

Browse Source 
This oversight in commit 71ea0d6795 allows a malicious server to
inject shell commands into plain-text dump output that are run at
restore time on the machine running psql.  To fix, interpret all
text after \unrestrict until the end of the line as its argument.
