Minor improvements for reformat_dat_file.pl.

Use Getopt::Long in preference to hand-rolled option parsing code.

Also, remove "-I .../backend/catalog" switch from the Makefile
invocations.  That's been unnecessary for some time, and leaving it
there gives the false impression it's needed in manual invocations.

John Naylor (extracted from a larger but more controversial patch)
