dblink_build_sql_insert() and related functions.  Now the column numbers
are treated as logical not physical column numbers.  This will provide saner
behavior in the presence of dropped columns; furthermore, if we ever get
around to allowing rearrangement of logical column ordering, the original
definition would become nearly untenable from a usability standpoint.
Per recent discussion of dblink's handling of dropped columns.
Not back-patched for fear of breaking existing applications.

This is not yet in any released version, so we still have the option to
backtrack.  Instead, document hstore(text[], text[]).  Per discussion.

columns correctly.  In passing, get rid of some dead logic in the
underlying get_sql_insert() etc functions --- there is no caller that
will pass null value-arrays to them.

Per bug report from Robert Voinea.

In particular, note that autovacuum does not yet understand that it might
need to vacuum inheritance parents as a result of changes to the child
tables.

dblink_build_sql_insert() and related functions.  In particular, be sure to
reject references to dropped and out-of-range column numbers.  The numbers
are still interpreted as physical column numbers, though, for backward
compatibility.

This patch replaces Joe's patch of 2010-02-03, which handled only some aspects
of the problem.

lock the target relation just once per SQL function call.  The original coding
obtained and released lock several times per call.  Aside from saving a
not-insignificant number of cycles, this eliminates possible race conditions
if someone tries to modify the relation's schema concurrently.  Also
centralize locking and permission-checking logic.

Problem noted while investigating a trouble report from Robert Voinea --- his
problem is still to be fixed, though.

and retry. If the record is genuinely corrupt in the master database,
there's little hope of recovering, but it's better than simply retrying
to apply the corrupt WAL record in a tight loop without even trying to
retransmit it, which is what we used to do.

As suggested by Ian Barwick.

Patch by Fujii Masao per Tom's suggestion, with some wording changes by me.
