    Create an improved FDW option validator function for contrib/dblink. · 8255566f
    Tom Lane authored
    dblink now has its own validator function dblink_fdw_validator(), which is
    better than the core function postgresql_fdw_validator() because it gets
    the list of legal options from libpq instead of having a hard-wired list.
    
    Make the dblink extension module provide a standard foreign data wrapper
    dblink_fdw that encapsulates use of this validator, and recommend use of
    that wrapper instead of making up wrappers on the fly.
    
    Unfortunately, because ad-hoc wrappers *were* recommended practice
    previously, it's not clear when we can get rid of postgresql_fdw_validator
    without causing upgrade problems.  But this is a step in the right
    direction.
