to ensure any needed compiler support routines are included.  This is
arguably appropriate on *every* gcc platform, but for the moment I'll take
the conservative approach of only doing it on a platform where it's
provably useful.  Per complaint from Heiko Lehmann, 13-Feb-03, as well
as personal experience --- contrib/pgstattuple has never worked for me,
but it does now.

this can happen was illustrated here:

adjusted to fit first sentence + rest convention.

fully search-path-proof yet; also, element_types view did not work for
parameters and result types of functions, because it didn't generate
the object_name for the function the same way the data_type_privileges
view does.  While at it, centralize dependencies on INDEX_MAX_KEYS/
FUNC_MAX_ARGS into a function returning setof int, so that it will be
easier to fix information_schema for nonstandard values of these
parameters.

I inadvertently broke a few days ago (per report from Sean Thomas).
Add regression test case to try to catch any similar breakage in future.

of the entries used to be zero, which I think I had deliberately done in
the name of saving cycles during ANALYZE, but it was really a rather
foolish decision.  Some of the more complex views in information_schema
were getting really bad plans for lack of statistics on the columns they
were joining over.

I'm not forcing an initdb for this, but I think there will be one soon
anyway to repair some bugs in the information_schema views.

memory say 'out of shared memory'; some were doing that and some just
said 'out of memory'.  Also add a HINT about increasing max_locks_per_transaction
where relevant, per suggestion from Sean Chittenden.  (The former change
does not break the strings freeze; the latter does, but I think it's
worth doing anyway.)

protocol, per report from Igor Shevchenko.  NOTIFY thought it could
do its thing if transaction blockState is TBLOCK_DEFAULT, but in
reality it had better check the low-level transaction state is
TRANS_DEFAULT as well.  Formerly it was not possible to wait for the
client in a state where the first is true and the second is not ...
but now we can have such a state.  Minor cleanup in StartTransaction()
as well.

Also fix possible memory leakage if _complete_with_query isn't run to
