NAMEDATALEN, so this code doesn't go nuts with smaller than default
BLCKSZ or larger than default NAMEDATALEN.  The standard value is
still exactly 8000.

In addition, add support for a "payload" string to be passed along with
each notify event.

This implementation should be significantly more efficient than the old one,
and is also more compatible with Hot Standby usage.  There is not yet any
facility for HS slaves to receive notifications generated on the master,
although such a thing is possible in future.

Still to be done: fix docs and fix regression failures under auto_explain.

Prevent use of another buggy version of Safe.pm.
Only register the exit handler if we have  successfully created an interpreter.
Change log level of perl warnings from NOTICE to WARNING.

The infrastructure is there if in future we decide to allow
DBAs to specify extra modules that will be allowed in trusted code.
However, for now the relevant variables are declared as lexicals
rather than as package variables, so that they are not (or should not be)
accessible.

tweaks by me.

used during a short period of time, and only one socket is accessed during
this time.

and move the context information into errcontext instead of errmsg.
This makes them better conform to our guidelines.

Also remove a few errcode declarations that were providing the default
value ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR.

In passing avoid fsyncing subdirectories twice.

Also adjust documentation of DO.

Tests show a big speedup on Linux at least on some filesystems.

Idea and patch from Andres Freund.

The purpose of this change is to eliminate the need for every caller
of SearchSysCache, SearchSysCacheCopy, SearchSysCacheExists,
GetSysCacheOid, and SearchSysCacheList to know the maximum number
of allowable keys for a syscache entry (currently 4).  This will
make it far easier to increase the maximum number of keys in a
future release should we choose to do so, and it makes the code
shorter, too.

Back-patch to 8.1 -- before that we just called "cp -r" and never
fsynced anything anyways.

All information we need is not available on Windows, but the number of

believed that such warnings are the only reason not to declare inlined
functions in headers, if the compiler understands "inline" at all.

process. If startup waits on a buffer pin we send a request to all
backends to cancel themselves if they are holding the buffer pin
required and they are also waiting on a lock. If not, startup waits
until max_standby_delay before cancelling any backend waiting for
the requested buffer pin.

before we start analyzing the parent statement.  This is to make it
more clear that the WITH isn't affected by anything in the parent.
I don't believe there's any actual bug here, because the stuff that
was being done before WITH didn't affect subqueries; but it's certainly
a potential for error (and apparently misled Marko into committing some
real errors...).
