changes from the main FSM commit for some reason.

free space information is stored in a dedicated FSM relation fork, with each
relation (except for hash indexes; they don't use FSM).

This eliminates the max_fsm_relations and max_fsm_pages GUC options; remove any
trace of them from the backend, initdb, and documentation.

Rewrite contrib/pg_freespacemap to match the new FSM implementation. Also
introduce a new variant of the get_raw_page(regclass, int4, int4) function in
contrib/pageinspect that let's you to return pages from any relation fork, and
a new fsm_page_contents() function to inspect the new FSM pages.

applied to expression indexes, not to plain relations.  The original coding
in btcostestimate conflated the two cases, but it's not hard to use
get_relation_stats_hook instead when we're looking to the underlying relation.

(ie, has nothing to quote), rather than silently ignoring the character as has
been our historical behavior.  This is required by SQL spec and should help
reduce the sort of user confusion seen in bug #4436.  Per discussion.

This is not so much a bug fix as a definitional change, and it could break
existing applications; so not back-patched.  It might deserve being mentioned
as an incompatibility in the 8.4 release notes.

element types.  Since the backend doesn't actually pay attention to the array
type's delimiter, this has no functional effect, but it seems better for the
catalog entries to be consistent.  Per gripe from Greg Mullane and subsequent
discussion.

Back-patch to 8.1; older releases don't have the issue because they didn't
try to be smart about setting hasSubLinks only when needed.

This is a stripped-down version of Radek Strnad's patch, with further
changes by me.

that presence of the password in the conninfo string must be checked *before*
risking a connection attempt, there is no point in checking it afterwards.
This makes the specification of PQconnectionUsedPassword() a bit simpler
and perhaps more generally useful, too.

conninfo string *before* trying to connect to the remote server, not after.
As pointed out by Marko Kreen, in certain not-very-plausible situations
this could result in sending a password from the postgres user's .pgpass file,
or other places that non-superusers shouldn't have access to, to an
untrustworthy remote server.  The cleanest fix seems to be to expose libpq's
conninfo-string-parsing code so that dblink can check for a password option
without duplicating the parsing logic.
