It doesn't just exclude .location fields, but also Query.len, a
similar field which contains the length of the query's string. The
name has been further refined to nodeToStringNoParseLocs() in the
attached version, but feel free to replace the names in the patch to
anything else you might want.

I'm a big fan of _not_ using magic global variables as passed context
without resetting on subnormal exits...
For GUCs their usage is understandable (and there is infrastructure to
reset them, and you're not supposed to manually update them), but IMO
here its usage should be a function-scoped variable or in a
passed-by-reference context struct, not a file-local static.
Regardless, attached is an adapted version with the file-local
variable implementation.

Attached a revised version that does it like stringToNodeInternal's
handling of restore_location_fields.

I've gone with ParseLoc in the attached v8 patchset.
