estimates when combining the estimates for a range query.  As pointed out
by Miquel van Smoorenburg, the existing check for an impossible combined
result would quite possibly fail to detect one default and one non-default
input.  It seems better to use the default range query estimate in such
cases.  To do so, add a check for an estimate of exactly DEFAULT_INEQ_SEL.
This is a bit ugly because it introduces additional coupling between
clauselist_selectivity and scalarltsel/scalargtsel, but it's not like
there wasn't plenty already...

working as intended --- for some reason, FROM a.b.c was getting
parsed as if it were a function name and not a qualified name.
I think there must be a bug in bison, because it should have
complained that the grammar was ambiguous.  Anyway, fix it along
the same lines previously used for func_name vs columnref, and get
rid of the right-recursion in attrs that seems to have confused
bison.

shifting left by full word width gives zero.  Per bug report from
Tyson Thomson.

preserve double leading slashes on Win32.

e.g.    ////a////b => /a/b

actual executable location.  This allows people to continue to use
setups where, eg, postmaster is symlinked from a convenient place.
Per gripe from Josh Berkus.

tablespace clauses; this should improve compatibility of dump files.
Philip Warner, some rework by Tom Lane.

type-and-length coercion function, make sure that the coercion function
is told the correct typmod.  Fixes Kris Jurka's example of a domain
over bit(N).

* Allow database recovery where tablespaces can't be created

  When a pg_dump is restored, all tablespaces will attempt to be created
  in their original locations. If this fails, the user must be able to
  adjust the restore process.

everywhere not just some places, get rid of . and .. when joining path
sections together.  This should eliminate most of the ugly paths like
/foo/bar/./baz that we've been generating.

RestrictInfo nodes in the query expression.  Per example from James Robinson.

clause implicitly whenever one is not given explicitly.  Remove concept
of a schema having an associated tablespace, and simplify the rules for
selecting a default tablespace for a table or index.  It's now just
(a) explicit TABLESPACE clause; (b) default_tablespace if that's not an
empty string; (c) database's default.  This will allow pg_dump to use
SET commands instead of tablespace clauses to determine object locations
(but I didn't actually make it do so).  All per recent discussions.
