SLRU area.  The number of slots is still a compile-time constant (someday
we might want to change that), but at least it's a different constant for
each SLRU area.  Increase number of subtrans buffers to 32 based on
experimentation with a heavily subtrans-bashing test case, and increase
number of multixact member buffers to 16, since it's obviously silly for
it not to be at least twice the number of multixact offset buffers.

the latest release notes there is a latin1 character that shouldn't be
there so I made a patch to fix that. This patch also fixes some old
entries that uses o instead of ö (which is also wrong but not as
bad as including a latin1 character in the sgml file).

lock, not exclusive, if the desired page is already in memory.  This can
be demonstrated to be a significant win on the pg_subtrans cache when there
is a large window of open transactions.  It should be useful for pg_clog
as well.  I didn't try to make GetMultiXactIdMembers() use the code, as
that would have taken some restructuring, and what with the local cache
for multixact contents it probably wouldn't really make a difference.
Per my recent proposal.

clauses could only arise from weird OUTER JOIN ON conditions, but worth
fixing.  Per example from Ron at cheapcomplexdevices.com.

 - improve file and path recognition
 - fix misspeling
 - improve tag recognition

incorrect implementation of argument reordering, arbitrary limit of output
size for sprintf and fprintf, willingness to access more bytes than "%.Ns"
specification allows, wrong formatting of LONGLONG_MIN, various field-padding
bugs and omissions.  I believe it now accurately implements a subset of
the Single Unix Spec requirements (remaining unimplemented features are
documented, too).  Bruce Momjian and Tom Lane.

than owned by nobody.  This results in cleaner display of language ACLs,
since the backend's aclchk.c uses the same convention.  AFAICS there is
no practical difference but it's nice to avoid emitting SET SESSION
AUTHORIZATION; also this will make it easier to transition pg_dump to
some future version in which we may include an explicit ownership column
in pg_language.  Per gripe from David Begley.

Per example from Dirk Pirschel.

Map them to a single day, so '30 hours' is 'AM'.

Have to_char(interval) and to_char(time) use "HH", "HH12" as 12-hour
intervals, rather than bypass and print the full interval hours.  This
is neeeded because to_char(time) is mapped to interval in this function.
Intervals should use "HH24", and document suggestion.

Allow "D" format specifiers for interval/time.

if we already have a stronger lock due to the index's table being the
update target table of the query.  Same optimization I applied earlier
at the table level.  There doesn't seem to be much interest in the more
radical idea of not locking indexes at all, so do what we can ...
