    Remove catalog function currtid() · 7b94e999

    currtid() and currtid2() are an undocumented set of functions whose sole
    known user is the Postgres ODBC driver, able to retrieve the latest TID
    version for a tuple given by the caller of those functions.
    
    As used by Postgres ODBC, currtid() is a shortcut able to retrieve the
    last TID loaded into a backend by passing an OID of 0 (magic value)
    after a tuple insertion.  This is removed in this commit, as it became
    obsolete after the driver began using "RETURNING ctid" with inserts, a
    clause supported since Postgres 8.2 (using RETURNING is better for
    performance anyway as it reduces the number of round-trips to the
    backend).
    
    currtid2() is still used by the driver, so this remains around for now.
    Note that this function is kept in its original shape for backward
    compatibility reasons.
    
    Per discussion with many people, including Andres Freund, Peter
    Eisentraut, Álvaro Herrera, Hiroshi Inoue, Tom Lane and myself.
    
    Bump catalog version.
