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
_PG_init() convention, instead.  This removes one source of pilot error
in use of preloaded libraries.  Original patch by Ralf Engelschall,
preload_libraries changes by me.

operation every so often.  This improves the usefulness of PITR log
shipping for hot standby: formerly, if the standby server crashed, it
was necessary to restart it from the last base backup and replay all
the WAL since then.  Now it will only need to reread about the same
amount of WAL as the master server would.  The behavior might also
come in handy during a long PITR replay sequence.  Simon Riggs,
with some editorialization by Tom Lane.

Fixed and cleaned up some regression tests. Also added a new one.

without indexes) but not to display temp tables.  It's a bit hard to
credit that sanity_check could get through a database-wide VACUUM
while the preceding create_index test is still trying to clean up
its temp tables ... but I see no other explanation for the current
failure report from buildfarm member sponge.
