walreceiver as whole into a dynamically loaded module, split the
libpq-specific parts of it into dynamically loaded module and keep the rest
in the main backend binary.

Although Tom fixed the Windows compilation problems with the old walreceiver
module already, this is a cleaner division of labour and makes the code
more readable. There's also the prospect of adding new transport methods
as pluggable modules in the future, which this patch makes easier, though for
now the API between libpqwalreceiver and walreceiver process should be
considered private.

The libpq-specific module is now in src/backend/replication/libpqwalreceiver,
and the part linked with postgres binary is in
src/backend/replication/walreceiver.c.

name already exists, so we'd get an error message about a "type" instead
of about a "relation", because the composite type code shares code with
relation creation.

Split SPI.xs into two - SPI.xs now contains only SPI functions. Remainder
are in new Util.xs.
Some more code and documentation cleanup along the way, as well as
adding some CVS markers to files missing them.

Original patch from Tim Bunce, with a little editing from me.

Modify the "Escaping Strings for Inclusion in SQL Commands" section
to use a <variablelist> as the preceding and following sections do,
and merge the "Escaping Binary Strings for Inclusion in SQL Commands"
section into it.

This changes only the formatting of these sections, not the content.
It is intended to lay the groundwork for a follow-on patch to add
some new escaping functions, but it makes sense to commit this first,
for clarity.

dump IDs, because the array we're using is sized according to the highest
dump ID actually defined in the archive file.  In a partial dump there could
be references to higher dump IDs that weren't dumped.  Treat these the same
as references to in-range IDs that weren't dumped.  (The whole thing is a
bit scary because the missing objects might have been part of dependency
chains, which we won't know about.  Not much we can do though --- throwing
an error is probably overreaction.)

Also, reject parallel restore with pre-1.8 archive version (made by pre-8.0
pg_dump).  In these old versions the dependency entries are OIDs, not dump
IDs, and we don't have enough information to interpret them.

Per bug #5288 from Jon Erdman.

when the planner splits apart a ROW(...) IS NULL test, the argisrow values
of the component tests have to be determined from the component field types,
not copied from the original NullTest (in which argisrow is surely true).

constraints and was lacking a couple of other interesting details.

pg_constraint before searching pg_trigger.  This allows saner handling of
corner cases; in particular we now say "constraint is not deferrable"
rather than "constraint does not exist" when the command is applied to
a constraint that's inherently non-deferrable.  Per a gripe several months
ago from hubert depesz lubaczewski.

To make this work without breaking user-defined constraint triggers,
we have to add entries for them to pg_constraint.  However, in return
we can remove the pgconstrname column from pg_constraint, which represents
a fairly sizable space savings.  I also replaced the tgisconstraint column
with tgisinternal; the old meaning of tgisconstraint can now be had by
testing for nonzero tgconstraint, while there is no other way to get
the old meaning of nonzero tgconstraint, namely that the trigger was
internally generated rather than being user-created.

In passing, fix an old misstatement in the docs and comments, namely that
pg_trigger.tgdeferrable is exactly redundant with pg_constraint.condeferrable.
Actually, we mark RI action triggers as nondeferrable even when they belong to
a nominally deferrable FK constraint.  The SET CONSTRAINTS code now relies on
that instead of hard-coding a list of exception OIDs.

posix_fadvise and other file-related functions can depend on _LARGEFILE_SOURCE
and/or _FILE_OFFSET_BITS.  Per report from Robert Treat.

Back-patch to 8.4.  This has been wrong all along, but we weren't really using
posix_fadvise in anger before, and AC_FUNC_FSEEKO seems to mask the issue well
enough for that function.

against concurrent reconnection. Failure during testing showed issue
was possible, even though earlier analysis seemed to indicate it
would not be required. Use LockSharedObjectForSession() before
ResolveRecoveryConflictWithDatabase() and hold lock until end of
processing for that WAL record. Simple approach to avoid introducing
further bugs at this stage of development on an improbable issue.

Mimic the Python interpreter's own logic for printing exceptions instead
of just using the straight str() call, so that
you get

    plpy.SPIError

instead of

    <class 'plpy.SPIError'>

and for built-in exceptions merely

    UnicodeEncodeError

Besides looking better this cuts down on the endless version differences
in the regression test expected files.

Conflict reason is passed through directly to the backend, so we can
take decisions about the effect of the conflict based upon the local
state. No specific changes, as yet, though this prepares for later work.
CancelVirtualTransaction() sends signals while holding ProcArrayLock.
Introduce errdetail_abort() to give message detail explaining that the

in favour of using PROCSIG_RECOVERY_CONFLICT states directly, for clarity.

particular fixes the incompatibility that Pavel pointed out with plpgsql's
new handling of variable references.  plancache.c gets a little bit
grottier, but the alternatives seem worse.
