    Redesign query-snapshot timing so that volatile functions in READ COMMITTED · b2c40712

    mode see a fresh snapshot for each command in the function, rather than
    using the latest interactive command's snapshot.  Also, suppress fresh
    snapshots as well as CommandCounterIncrement inside STABLE and IMMUTABLE
    functions, instead using the snapshot taken for the most closely nested
    regular query.  (This behavior is only sane for read-only functions, so
    the patch also enforces that such functions contain only SELECT commands.)
    As per my proposal of 6-Sep-2004; I note that I floated essentially the
    same proposal on 19-Jun-2002, but that discussion tailed off without any
    action.  Since 8.0 seems like the right place to be taking possibly
    nontrivial backwards compatibility hits, let's get it done now.
