when to send what to which, prevent recursion by introducing new COMMERROR
elog level for client-communication problems, get rid of direct writes
to stderr in backend/libpq files, prevent non-error elogs from going to
client during the authentication cycle.

speed up repetitive failed searches; per pghackers discussion in late
January.  inval.c logic substantially simplified, since we can now treat
inserts and deletes alike as far as inval events are concerned.  Some
repair work needed in heap_create_with_catalog, which turns out to have
been doing CommandCounterIncrement at a point where the new relation has
non-self-consistent catalog entries.  With the new inval code, that
resulted in assert failures during a relcache entry rebuild.

now just below FATAL in server_min_messages.  Added more text to
highlight ordering difference between it and client_min_messages.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

REALLYFATAL => PANIC
STOP => PANIC
New INFO level the prints to client by default
New LOG level the prints to server log by default
Cause VACUUM information to print only to the client
NOTICE => INFO where purely information messages are sent
DEBUG => LOG for purely server status messages
DEBUG removed, kept as backward compatible
DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1 added
DebugLvl removed in favor of new DEBUG[1-5] symbols
New server_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
        DEBUG[5-1], INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, PANIC
New client_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
        DEBUG[5-1], LOG, INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC
Server startup now logged with LOG instead of DEBUG
Remove debug_level GUC parameter
elog() numbers now start at 10
Add test to print error message if older elog() values are passed to elog()
Bootstrap mode now has a -d that requires an argument, like postmaster

profiling timer setting across fork().  The correct way to build a
profilable backend on Linux is now gmake PROFILE="-pg -DLINUX_PROFILE"

postmaster won't accept the request anyway.  (If your kernel can't
be trusted, SSL will not help you.)

before reporting command-complete message for the final command of a
query string.  This way, any errors detected during finish_xact_command
(such as RI violations) will appear to be part of the final command,
rather than coming out after the command is reported complete.  This
avoids confusing PQendcopy and other not-overly-bright clients.
Per Lee Harr's bug report of 25-Feb-02.

been renamed, and seems rather pointless in any case.
Also improve a couple of error messages about inconsistencies.

are now both invoked once per received SQL command (raw parsetree) from
pg_exec_query_string.  BeginCommand is actually just an empty routine
at the moment --- all its former operations have been pushed into tuple
receiver setup routines in printtup.c.  This makes for a clean distinction
between BeginCommand/EndCommand (once per command) and the tuple receiver
setup/teardown routines (once per ExecutorRun call), whereas the old code
was quite ad hoc.  Along the way, clean up the calling conventions for
ExecutorRun a little bit.

Change SQLGetFunctions() to reply not yet implemented ODBC 3.0
functions precisely.

Also ensure that this report comes from the 'original' command, not the
last command generated by rewrite; this fixes 7.2 breakage for INSERT
