Mixing them together alphabetically won't be nice.  Per my gripe of
2011-02-12.

If a standby is broadcasting reply messages and we have named
one or more standbys in synchronous_standby_names then allow
users who set synchronous_replication to wait for commit, which
then provides strict data integrity guarantees. Design avoids
sending and receiving transaction state information so minimises
bookkeeping overheads. We synchronize with the highest priority
standby that is connected and ready to synchronize. Other standbys
can be defined to takeover in case of standby failure.

This version has very strict behaviour; more relaxed options
may be added at a later date.

Since this field is after a variable-length field, it can't simply be
accessed via the C struct for pg_index.  Fortunately, the relcache already
did the dirty work of pulling the information out to where it can be
accessed easily, so this is a one-line fix.

It's more likely that pg_pltemplate will go away in the future than
that we'll add additional specialized infrastructure for it.

The original scheme for this was to symlink plpython.$DLSUFFIX to
plpython2.$DLSUFFIX, but that doesn't work on Windows, and only
accidentally failed to fail because of the way that CREATE LANGUAGE created
or didn't create new C functions.  My changes of yesterday exposed the
weakness of that approach.  To fix, get rid of the symlink and make
pg_pltemplate show what's really going on.

In createlang this is a one-line change.  In droplang there's a whole
lot of cruft that can be discarded since the extension mechanism now
manages removal of the language's support functions.

Also, add deprecation notices to these two programs' reference pages,
since per discussion we may toss them overboard altogether in a release
or two.

In preparation for 9.1alpha4 release notes, where only the 9.1alpha4
features will be emphasized.

Recommend use of CREATE EXTENSION rather than plain CREATE LANGUAGE
where relevant.  Encourage PL authors to provide extension wrappers
for their PLs.

This mostly just involves creating control, install, and
update-from-unpackaged scripts for them.  However, I had to adjust plperl
and plpython to not share the same support functions between variants,
because we can't put the same function into multiple extensions.

catversion bump forced due to new contents of pg_pltemplate, and because
initdb now installs plpgsql as an extension not a bare language.

Add support for regression testing these as extensions not bare
languages.

Fix a couple of other issues that popped up while testing this: my initial
hack at pg_dump binary-upgrade support didn't work right, and we don't want
an extra schema permissions test after all.

Documentation changes still to come, but I'm committing now to see
whether the MSVC build scripts need work (likely they do).

This avoids duplicate (and not-quite-matching) code, and makes the logic
for SECURITY LABEL match COMMENT and ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP.

It is possible that an expression ends up with a collatable type but
without a collation.  CREATE TABLE AS could then create a table based
on that.  But such a column cannot be dumped with valid SQL syntax, so
we disallow creating such a column.

per test report from Noah Misch

Remove the unconditional superuser permissions check in CREATE EXTENSION,
and instead define a "superuser" extension property, which when false
(not the default) skips the superuser permissions check.  In this case
the calling user only needs enough permissions to execute the commands
in the extension's installation script.  The superuser property is also
enforced in the same way for ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE cases.

In other ALTER EXTENSION cases and DROP EXTENSION, test ownership of
the extension rather than superuserness.  ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP needs
to insist on ownership of the target object as well; to do that without
duplicating code, refactor comment.c's big switch for permissions checks
into a separate function in objectaddress.c.

I also removed the superuserness checks in pg_available_extensions and
related functions; there's no strong reason why everybody shouldn't
be able to see that info.

Also invent an IF NOT EXISTS variant of CREATE EXTENSION, and use that
in pg_dump, so that dumps won't fail for installed-by-default extensions.
We don't have any of those yet, but we will soon.

This is all per discussion of wrapping the standard procedural languages
into extensions.  I'll make those changes in a separate commit; this is
just putting the core infrastructure in place.

This is the same check that would happen later when the collation is
used, but it's friendlier to check the collation already when it is
created.

Instead, just act as though the certificate file(s) are not present.
There is only one case where this need be a hard failure condition: when
sslmode is verify-ca or verify-full, not having a root cert file is an
error.  Change the logic so that we complain only in that case, and
otherwise fall through cleanly.  This is how it used to behave pre-9.0,
but my patch 4ed4b6c5 of 2010-05-26 broke
the case.  Per report from Christian Kastner.

CheckForSerializableConflictOut(), because it can set hint bits.

Mostly text supplied by Jan Urbański.

Instead of manually maintaining the "implementation of XXX operator"
comments in pg_proc.h, delete all those entries and let initdb create
them via a join.  To let initdb figure out which name to use when there
is a conflict, change the comments for deprecated operators to say they
are deprecated --- which seems like a good thing to do anyway.

Although there remains some debate about how CREATE TYPE should represent
the collation property, this doesn't really affect what we need to do in
citext's script, so go ahead and fix that.

This works around the problem noted by Yamamoto Takashi in bug #5906,
that there were code paths whereby we could reach AtCleanup_Portals
with a portal's cleanup hook still unexecuted.  The changes I made
a few days ago were intended to prevent that from happening, and
I think that on balance it's still a good thing to avoid, so I don't
want to remove the Assert in AtCleanup_Portals.  Hence do this instead.

Now that btree_gist contains a reference to isinf(), this is necessary
at least on some platforms.  Per buildfarm.

Historically, we've not had separate comments for built-in pg_operator
entries, but relied on the comments for the underlying functions.  The
trouble with this approach is that there isn't much of anything to suggest
to users that they'd be better off using the operators instead.  So, move
all the relevant comments into pg_operator, and give each underlying
function a comment that just says "implementation of XXX operator".
There are only about half a dozen cases where it seems reasonable to use
the underlying function interchangeably with the operator; in these cases
I left the same comment in place on the function as on the operator.

While at it, establish a policy that every built-in function and operator
entry should have a comment: there are now queries in the opr_sanity
regression test that will complain if one doesn't.  This only required
adding a dozen or two more entries than would have been there anyway.

I also spent some time trying to eliminate gratuitous inconsistencies in
the style of the comments, though it's hopeless to suppose that more won't
creep in soon enough.

Per my proposal of 2010-10-15.

This is faked information like for domains.

This extends GiST's support for nearest-neighbor searches to many of the
standard data types.

Mapped to NetBSD, the closest existing match.  (Even though DragonFly
BSD is derived from FreeBSD, the shared library version numbering
matches NetBSD, and the rest is mostly the same among all BSD
variants.)

The grammar requires a specific ordering of the clauses, but the
documentation showed a different order.  This error was introduced in
commit b47953f9, which merged the CREATE
CONSTRAINT TRIGGER documentation into the CREATE TRIGGER page.  There is
no code bug AFAICS.
