    Add control knobs for plpgsql's variable resolution behavior, and make the · 63176099

    default be "throw error on conflict", as per discussions.  The GUC variable
    is plpgsql.variable_conflict, with values "error", "use_variable",
    "use_column".  The behavior can also be specified per-function by inserting
    one of
    	#variable_conflict error
    	#variable_conflict use_variable
    	#variable_conflict use_column
    at the start of the function body.
    
    The 8.5 release notes will need to mention using "use_variable" to retain
    backward-compatible behavior, although we should encourage people to migrate
    to the much less mistake-prone "error" setting.
    
    Update the plpgsql documentation to match this and other recent changes.
