    Add missing_ok option to the SQL functions for reading files. · cb2acb10

    This makes it possible to use the functions without getting errors, if there
    is a chance that the file might be removed or renamed concurrently.
    pg_rewind needs to do just that, although this could be useful for other
    purposes too. (The changes to pg_rewind to use these functions will come in
    a separate commit.)
    
    The read_binary_file() function isn't very well-suited for extensions.c's
    purposes anymore, if it ever was. So bite the bullet and make a copy of it
    in extension.c, tailored for that use case. This seems better than the
    accidental code reuse, even if it's a some more lines of code.
