share lock on a buffer being written out before releasing BufMgrLock in
the BufferAlloc code path; if we do it later we might block on someone
who's re-pinned the buffer.  I believe this is only an issue for BufferAlloc
and not the other places that call FlushBuffer.  BufferSync must continue
to do it the old way since it may well be trying to write buffers that
other backends have pinned; but it should not be holding any conflicting
locks.  FlushRelationBuffers is okay since it's got exclusive lock at the
relation level.

forgot to autoconf after tag'ng configure.in with rc3

Tag appropriate files for rc3

Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...

overlooked in 7.3 updates.  Not a critical fix but avoids a notice when
the resulting SQL script is executed.

to shared memory as soon as possible, ie, right after read_backend_variables.
The effective difference from the original code is that this happens
before instead of after read_nondefault_variables(), which loads GUC
information and is apparently capable of expanding the backend's memory
allocation more than you'd think it should.  This should fix the
failure-to-attach-to-shared-memory reports we've been seeing on Windows.
Also clean up a few bits of unnecessarily grotty EXEC_BACKEND code.

thereby-obsoleted patch to make psql supply the localhost default.
