spoonbill, though one wonders why it didn't misbehave everywhere.
In passing remove some unnecessary modulo calculations.

Formerly, the default value of wal_sync_method was determined inside xlog.c,
but now it is determined inside guc.c.  guc.c was reading xlogdefs.h
without having read <fcntl.h>, leading to wrong determination of
DEFAULT_SYNC_METHOD.  Obviously xlogdefs.h needs to include <fcntl.h>
for itself to ensure stable results.

This particular batch was just for *.c and *.h file.

The changes were made with the following 2 commands:

find . \( \( -name 'libstemmer' -o -name 'expected' -o -name 'ppport.h' \) -prune \) -o  \( -name '*.[ch]'  \) \( -exec grep -q '\$PostgreSQL' {} \; -o -print \) | while read file ; do head -n 1 < $file | grep -q '^/\*' && echo $file; done | xargs -l sed -i -e '1s/^\// /' -e '1i/*\n * $PostgreSQL:$ \n *'

find . \( \( -name 'libstemmer' -o -name 'expected' -o -name 'ppport.h' \) -prune \) -o  \( -name '*.[ch]'  \) \( -exec grep -q '\$PostgreSQL' {} \; -o -print \) | xargs -l sed -i -e '1i/*\n * $PostgreSQL:$ \n */'

sequence.  This seems an obvious extension to the recent patch, and it
makes the code noticeably cleaner and more orthogonal.

sequence to be reset to its original starting value.  This requires adding the
original start value to the set of parameters (columns) of a sequence object,
which is a user-visible change with potential compatibility implications;
it also forces initdb.

Also add hopefully-SQL-compatible RESTART/CONTINUE IDENTITY options to
TRUNCATE TABLE.  RESTART IDENTITY executes ALTER SEQUENCE RESTART for all
sequences "owned by" any of the truncated relations.  CONTINUE IDENTITY is
a no-op option.

should always succeed, but in the likely event of a failure we would
previously fall through *without locking* - the new code will exit(1).

Printing the error message on stderr will not work for all applications, but
it's better than nothing at all - and our API doesn't provide a way to return
the error to the caller.

Add a few "help" entries.

Move \g help entry into "General".

This commit in itself is just code cleanup and shouldn't change anything.
It lays some groundwork for the upcoming function-stats patch, though.

modes, replacing it with a call to a function that derives it from the
sync_method variable, now that it has distinct values for these two cases.

This means that assign_xlog_sync_method() no longer changes any settings,
thus fixing the bug introduced in the change to use a guc enum for
wal_sync_method.

This is never called anywhere in the code today, but might be in
the future.

Not backpatching, since it's not called anywhere today.

HINT fields to a user-thrown error message, and to specify the SQLSTATE
error code to use.  The syntax has also been tweaked so that the
Oracle-compatible case "RAISE exception_name" works (though you won't get a
very nice error message if you just write that much).  Lastly, support
the Oracle-compatible syntax "RAISE" with no parameters to re-throw
the current error from within an EXCEPTION block.

In passing, allow the syntax SQLSTATE 'nnnnn' within EXCEPTION lists,
so that there is a way to trap errors with custom SQLSTATE codes.

> * -Improve dead row detection during multi-statement transactions usage

There are two ways to track a snapshot: there's the "registered" list, which
is used for arbitrary long-lived snapshots; and there's the "active stack",
which is used for the snapshot that is considered "active" at any time.
This also allows users of snapshots to stop worrying about snapshot memory
allocation and freeing, and about using PG_TRY blocks around ActiveSnapshot
assignment.  This is all done automatically now.

As a consequence, this allows us to reset MyProc->xmin when there are no
more snapshots registered in the current backend, reducing the impact that
long-running transactions have on VACUUM.
