a mismatching installation.  Pick a default port number calculated from the
version number, and try a few times with other numbers if that one doesn't
work.  Check if we can connect to the port before starting our own postmaster,
to detect some other server already running there.  To simplify the code,
drop --temp-port option and use --port for both temp-install and pre-installed
case.

along the way to filling the buffer.  The previous coding would just silently

in this line, but this is a start.

libpq.  As noted by Peter, adding this variable created a risk of unexpected
connection failures when talking to older server versions, and since it
doesn't do anything you can't do with PGOPTIONS, it doesn't seem really
necessary.  Removing it does occasion a few extra lines in pg_regress.c,
but saving a getenv() call per libpq connection attempt is perhaps worth
that anyway.

the bgwriter immediately.  This covers the case where the bgwriter is still
starting up, as seen in a recent buildfarm failure.  In future it might also
assist with clean recovery after a bgwriter termination and restart ---
right now the postmaster treats early bgwriter exit as a system crash,
but that might not always be so.

though it is an inner rather than outer join type.  This essentially means
that we don't bother to separate "pushed down" qual conditions from actual
join quals at a semijoin plan node; which is okay because the restrictions of
SQL syntax make it impossible to have a pushed-down qual that references the
inner side of a semijoin.  This allows noticeably better optimization of
IN/EXISTS cases than we had before, since the equivalence-class machinery can
now use those quals.  Also fix a couple of other mistakes that had essentially
disabled the ability to unique-ify the inner relation and then join it to just
a subset of the left-hand relations.  An example case using the regression
database is

select * from tenk1 a, tenk1 b
where (a.unique1,b.unique2) in (select unique1,unique2 from tenk1 c);

which is planned reasonably well by 8.3 and earlier but had been forcing a
