same data type and same typmod, we show that typmod as the output
typmod, rather than generic -1.  This responds to several complaints
over the past few years about UNIONs unexpectedly dropping length or
precision info.

as micro-seconds, rather than as 100 microseconds, as it does now.  This
actually fixes all setitimer calls on Win32, but statement_timeout is
the most visible fix.

Backpatch to 8.1.X.  8.0 works as documented.

loaded libraries: call functions _PG_init() and _PG_fini() if the library
defines such symbols.  Hence we no longer need to specify an initialization
function in preload_libraries: we can assume that the library used the

in use of preloaded libraries.  Original patch by Ralf Engelschall,
preload_libraries changes by me.

We already know this everywhere else AFAICT.
