explicit paths, so that the log can be replayed in a data directory
with a different absolute path than the original had.  To avoid forcing
initdb in the 8.0 branch, continue to accept the old WAL log record
types; they will never again be generated however, and the code can be
dropped after the next forced initdb.  Per report from Oleg Bartunov.
We still need to think about what it really means to WAL-log CREATE
TABLESPACE commands: we more or less have to put the absolute path
into those, but how to replay in a different context??

PageIndexTupleDelete() with a single pass of compactification ---
logic mostly lifted from PageRepairFragmentation.  I noticed while
profiling that a VACUUM that's cleaning up a whole lot of deleted
tuples would spend as much as a third of its CPU time in
PageIndexTupleDelete; not too surprising considering the loop method
was roughly O(N^2) in the number of tuples involved.

up-to-speed logic; in particular this will cause it to quote names that
match keywords.  Remove unnecessary multibyte cruft from quote_literal
(all backend-internal encodings are 8-bit-safe).

* test error handling
* add tests for des, 3des, cast5
* add some tests to blowfish, rijndael
* Makefile: ability to specify different tests for different crypto
  libraries, so we can skip des, 3des and cast5 for builtin.

Reserve px_get_random_bytes() for strong randomness,
add new function px_get_pseudo_random_bytes() for
weak randomness and use it in gen_salt().

On openssl case, use RAND_pseudo_bytes() for
px_get_pseudo_random_bytes().

Final result is that is user has not configured random
souce but kept the 'silly' one, gen_salt() keeps
working, but pgp_encrypt() will throw error.

* openssl.c: Add 3des and AES support
* README.pgcrypto: list only supported ciphers for openssl

OpenSSL has pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_NO_AES, which
isn't that helpful for detecting if it _does_ exist.
Thus the hack with AES_ENCRYPT.

* Use error codes instead of -1
* px_strerror for new error codes
* calling convention change for px_gen_salt - return error code
* use px_strerror in pgcrypto.c

  It was a bad style to begin with, and now several loops can be clearer.
* pgcrypto.c: Fix function comments
* crypt-gensalt.c, crypt-blowfish.c: stop messing with errno
* openssl.c: use px_free instead pfree
* px.h: make redefining px_alloc/px_realloc/px_free easier

libmcrypt seems to dead, maintainer address bounces,
and cast-128 fails on 2 of the 3 test vectors from RFC2144.

So I see no reason to keep around stuff I don't trust
anymore.

Support for several crypto libraries is probably only
confusing to users, although it was good for initial
developing - it helped to find hidden assumptions and
forced me to create regression tests for all functionality.

convention for isnull flags.  Also, remove the useless InsertIndexResult
return struct from index AM aminsert calls --- there is no reason for
the caller to know where in the index the tuple was inserted, and we
were wasting a palloc cycle per insert to deliver this uninteresting
value (plus nontrivial complexity in some AMs).
I forced initdb because of the change in the signature of the aminsert
routines, even though nothing really looks at those pg_proc entries...

to write out data that we are about to tell the filesystem to drop.
smgr_internal_unlink already had a DropRelFileNodeBuffers call to
get rid of dead buffers without a write after it's no longer possible
to roll back the deleting transaction.  Adding a similar call in
smgrtruncate simplifies callers and makes the overall division of
labor clearer.  This patch removes the former behavior that VACUUM
would write all dirty buffers of a relation unconditionally.

unrelated process when checking a stale lock file.  Other checks already

so there is no need to error out.  Add comments indicating the importance
