of extended query features in new FE/BE protocol.  TransactionCommandContext
is gone (PortalContext replaces it for some purposes), and QueryContext
has taken on a new meaning (MessageContext plays its old role).

that the types of untyped string-literal constants are deduced (ie,
when coerce_type is applied to 'em, that's what the type must be).
Remove the ancient hack of storing the input Param-types array as a
global variable, and put the info into ParseState instead.  This touches
a lot of files because of adjustment of routine parameter lists, but
it's really not a large patch.  Note: PREPARE statement still insists on
exact specification of parameter types, but that could easily be relaxed
now, if we wanted to do so.

latter.  Fix documentation omissions while at it.

declared without having to write %ROWTYPE.  If the declared type of
a variable is a composite type, it'll be taken to be a row variable
automatically.

I had inadvertently omitted it while rearranging things to support
length-counted incoming messages.  Also, change the parser's API back
to accepting a 'char *' query string instead of 'StringInfo', as the
latter wasn't buying us anything except overhead.  (I think when I put
it in I had some notion of making the parser API 8-bit-clean, but
seeing that flex depends on null-terminated input, that's not really
ever gonna happen.)

in all cases, leaked TopMemoryContext memory in others.  Make the
interaction between SetClientEncoding and InitializeClientEncoding
cleaner and better documented.  I suspect these changes should be
back-patched into 7.3, but will wait on Tatsuo's verification.

implemented yet though --- the backend always sends zeroes, and libpq
just throws away the data.)

initial values and runtime changes in selected parameters.  This gets
rid of the need for an initial 'select pg_client_encoding()' query in
libpq, bringing us back to one message transmitted in each direction
for a standard connection startup.  To allow server version to be sent
using the same GUC mechanism that handles other parameters, invent the
concept of a never-settable GUC parameter: you can 'show server_version'
but it's not settable by any GUC input source.  Create 'lc_collate' and
'lc_ctype' never-settable parameters so that people can find out these
settings without need for pg_controldata.  (These side ideas were all
discussed some time ago in pgsql-hackers, but not yet implemented.)

into a UNION that has some type coercions applied to the component
queries, so long as the qual itself does not reference any columns that
have such coercions.  Per example from Jonathan Bartlett 24-Apr-03.

rewritten and the protocol is changed, but most elog calls are still
elog calls.  Also, we need to contemplate mechanisms for controlling
all this functionality --- eg, how much stuff should appear in the
postmaster log?  And what API should libpq expose for it?
