Adding special command line option that is now needed for the one ecpg regression test that was changed.

Informix allows variables as argument to the embedded SQL command FREE. Given
that we only allow freeing cursors via FREE for compatibility reasons only we
should do the same.

Also update tagging instructions, and add id tags to a few documentation
sections.

In this case, correction is to remove now unused fields from struct.
Since these were unused and full of garbage anyway, no version change.

so that we won't try to attach any context printouts to messages that get
emitted while exiting.  Per report from Dennis Koegel, the context functions
won't necessarily work after we've started shutting down the backend, and it
seems possible that debug_query_string could be pointing at freed storage
as well.  The context information doesn't seem particularly relevant to
such messages anyway, so there's little lost by suppressing it.

Back-patch to all supported branches.  I can only demonstrate a crash with
log_disconnections messages back to 8.1, but the risk seems real in 8.0 and
before anyway.

catalog entries via SearchSysCache and related operations.  Although, at the
time that these callbacks are called by elog.c, we have not officially aborted
the current transaction, it still seems rather risky to initiate any new
catalog fetches.  In all these cases the needed information is readily
available in the caller and so it's just a matter of a bit of extra notation
to pass it to the callback.

Per crash report from Dennis Koegel.  I've concluded that the real fix for
his problem is to clear the error context stack at entry to proc_exit, but
it still seems like a good idea to make the callbacks a bit less fragile
for other cases.

Backpatch to 8.4.  We could go further back, but the patch doesn't apply
cleanly.  In the absence of proof that this fixes something and isn't just
paranoia, I'm not going to expend the effort.

with a few strategically placed pg_verifymbstr calls.

Also make a couple other minor editorial improvements.

In PLy_spi_execute_plan, use the data-type specific Python-to-PostgreSQL
conversion function instead of passing everything through InputFunctionCall
as a string.  The equivalent fix was already done months ago for function
parameters and return values, but this other gateway between Python and
PostgreSQL was apparently forgotten.  As a result, data types that need
special treatment, such as bytea, would misbehave when used with
plpy.execute.

in recovery_end_command, it always came out as 0 because InRedo was
cleared before recovery_end_command was executed. Also, always take
ControlFileLock when reading checkpoint location for %r.

The recovery_end_command bug and the missing locking was present in 8.4
as well, that part of this patch will be backported separately.

This variable is apparently only for Python internally.  In newer releases
of Python this variable pulls in more and more libraries that users are
less likely to have, leading to potential build failures.
