do one.

are all in new-in-8.2 logic associated with indexability of ScalarArrayOpExpr
(IN-clauses) or amortization of indexscan costs across repeated indexscans
on the inside of a nestloop.  In particular:

Fix some logic errors in the estimation for multiple scans induced by a
ScalarArrayOpExpr indexqual.

Include a small cost component in bitmap index scans to reflect the costs of
manipulating the bitmap itself; this is mainly to prevent a bitmap scan from
appearing to have the same cost as a plain indexscan for fetching a single
tuple.

Also add a per-index-scan-startup CPU cost component; while prior releases
were clearly too pessimistic about the cost of repeated indexscans, the
original 8.2 coding allowed the cost of an indexscan to effectively go to zero
if repeated often enough, which is overly optimistic.

Pay some attention to index correlation when estimating costs for a nestloop
inner indexscan: this is significant when the plan fetches multiple heap
tuples per iteration, since high correlation means those tuples are probably
on the same or adjacent heap pages.

joinclause doesn't use any outer-side vars) requires a "bushy" plan to be
created.  The normal heuristic to avoid joins with no joinclause has to be
overridden in that case.  Problem is new in 8.2; before that we forced the
outer join order anyway.  Per example from Teodor.

representing externally-supplied values, since the APIs that carry such
values only specify type not typmod.  However, for PARAM_SUBLINK Params
it is handy to carry the typmod of the sublink's output column.  This
is a much cleaner solution for the recently reported 'could not find
pathkey item to sort' and 'failed to find unique expression in subplan
tlist' bugs than my original 8.2-compatible patch.  Besides, someday we
might want to support typmods for external parameters ...

in normal operation, and we can avoid rewriting pg_control at every log
segment switch if we don't insist that these values be valid.  Reducing
the number of pg_control updates is a good idea for both performance and
reliability.  It does make pg_resetxlog's life a bit harder, but that seems
a good tradeoff; and anyway the change to pg_resetxlog amounts to automating
something people formerly needed to do by hand, namely look at the existing
pg_xlog files to make sure the new WAL start point was past them.

In passing, change the wording of xlog.c's "database system was interrupted"
messages: describe the pg_control timestamp as "last known up at" rather than
implying it is the exact time of service interruption.  With this change the
timestamp will generally be the time of the last checkpoint, which could be
many minutes before the failure; and we've already seen indications that
people tend to misinterpret the old wording.

release it in a subtransaction abort, but this neglects possibility that
someone outside SPI already did.  Fix is for spi.c to forget about a tuptable

rearrangeable outer joins and the WHERE clause is non-strict and mentions
only nullable-side relations.  New bug in 8.2, caused by new logic to allow
rearranging outer joins.  Per bug #2807 from Ross Cohen; thanks to Jeff
Davis for producing a usable test case.

a sublink's test expression have the correct vartypmod, rather than defaulting
to -1.  There's at least one place where this is important because we're
expecting these Vars to be exactly equal() to those appearing in the subplan
itself.  This is a pretty klugy solution --- it would likely be cleaner to
change Param nodes to include a typmod field --- but we can't do that in the
already-released 8.2 branch.
Per bug report from Hubert Fongarnand.

identify long-running transactions. Since we already need to record
the transaction-start time (e.g. for now()), we don't need any
additional system calls to report this information.
