indexes.  Extend the macros in include/catalog/*.h to carry the info
about hand-assigned OIDs, and adjust the genbki script and bootstrap
code to make the relations actually get those OIDs.  Remove the small
number of RelOid_pg_foo macros that we had in favor of a complete
set named like the catname.h and indexing.h macros.  Next phase will
get rid of internal use of names for looking up catalogs and indexes;
but this completes the changes forcing an initdb, so it looks like a
good place to commit.
Along the way, I made the shared relations (pg_database etc) not be
'bootstrap' relations any more, so as to reduce the number of hardwired
entries and simplify changing those relations in future.  I'm not
sure whether they ever really needed to be handled as bootstrap
relations, but it seems to work fine to not do so now.

avoid encroaching on the 'user' range of OIDs by allowing automatic
OID assignment to use values below 16k until we reach normal operation.

initdb not forced since this doesn't make any incompatible change;
however a lot of stuff will have different OIDs after your next initdb.

of just a relation OID, thereby not having to open the relation for itself.
This actually saves code rather than adding it for most of the existing
callers, which had the rel open already.  The main point though is to be
able to use this rather than plain addRangeTableEntry in setTargetTable,
thus saving one relation_openrv/relation_close cycle for every INSERT,
UPDATE, or DELETE.  Seems to provide a several percent win on simple
INSERTs.

On reflection, we ought to get rid of that mechanism entirely.

genbki.sh's pool (10000-16383) instead of being run-time assigned by
heap_insert.  Might as well use the pool as long as it's there ...
I was a bit bemused to realize that it hadn't been in use at all since 7.2.

and PL languages during initdb.  The default permissions for these objects
are the same as what we were assigning anyway, so there is no need to
expend space in the catalogs on them.  The space cost is particularly
significant in pg_proc's indexes, which are bloated by about a factor of 2
by the full-table update, and can never really recover the space.

on text's min/max, because otherwise the possible use of bpchar indexes

Add a regression test to help spot trouble in this area in future.

a hundred lines from grouping_planner (which is still too big :-().

in UPDATE. We also now issue a NOTICE if a query has _any_ implicit
range table entries -- in the past, we would only warn about implicit
RTEs in SELECTs with at least one explicit RTE.

As a result of the warning change, 25 of the regression tests had to
be updated. I also took the opportunity to remove some bogus whitespace
differences between some of the float4 and float8 variants. I believe
I have correctly updated all the platform-specific variants, but let
me know if that's not the case.

functions. This patch optimizes int2_sum(), int4_sum(), float4_accum()
and float8_accum() to avoid needing to copy the transition function's
state for each input tuple of the aggregate. In an extreme case
(e.g. SELECT sum(int2_col) FROM table where table has a single column),
it improves performance by about 20%. For more complex queries or tables
with wider rows, the relative performance improvement will not be as
significant.

entirely, since they are redundant with information stored in the node's
contained expression; re-examining the expression at need seems simpler
and more reliable than trying to keep restype/restypmod up to date.

OPENed on non-SELECT commands such as EXPLAIN or SHOW (anything that
returns tuples is allowed).  This flexibility already existed for
bound cursors, but OPEN was artificially restricting what it would
take.  Per a gripe some months back.

performance hack Tom introduced recently. This means we can avoid
copying the transition array for each input tuple if these functions
are invoked as aggregate transition functions.

To test the performance improvement, I created a 1 million row table
with a single int4 column. Without the patch, SELECT avg(col) FROM
table took about 4.2 seconds (after the data was cached); with the
patch, it took about 3.2 seconds. Naturally, the performance
improvement for a less trivial query (or a table with wider rows)
would be relatively smaller.
