Clarify the compatibility notes about EXTRACT() and about statistics
timing columns.

This is so that these sections will have stable HTML tags that one can
link to, rather than things like "AEN1902".  Perhaps we should mount a
campaign to do this everywhere, but I've found myself pointing at
syntax.sgml subsections often enough to be sure it's useful here.

pg_restore.

The previous signature made it very easy to pass something other than
the printf-format specifier in the corresponding position, without any
warning from the compiler.

While at it, move some of the escaping, redirecting and quoting
responsibilities from the callers into exec_prog() itself.  This makes
the callsites cleaner.

It was confusing symlinks with hard links.

This threw ERROR, not the expected NOTICE, if the index didn't exist.
The bug was actually visible in not-as-expected regression test output,
so somebody wasn't paying too close attention in commit

This enables selectivity estimation of the <<, >>, &<, &> and && operators,
as well as the normal inequality operators: <, <=, >=, >. "range @> element"
is also supported, but the range-variant @> and <@ operators are not,
because they cannot be sensibly estimated with lower and upper bound
histograms alone. We would need to make some assumption about the lengths of
the ranges for that. Alexander's patch included a separate histogram of
lengths for that, but I left that out of the patch for simplicity. Hopefully
that will be added as a followup patch.

The fraction of empty ranges is also calculated and used in estimation.

It still thought that the --xlog-method option argument could be
empty, as in a previous version of this feature.

This patch takes care of a number of problems having to do with failure
to choose valid join orders and incorrect handling of lateral references
pulled up from subqueries.  Notable changes:

* Add a LateralJoinInfo data structure similar to SpecialJoinInfo, to
represent join ordering constraints created by lateral references.
(I first considered extending the SpecialJoinInfo structure, but the
semantics are different enough that a separate data structure seems
better.)  Extend join_is_legal() and related functions to prevent trying
to form unworkable joins, and to ensure that we will consider joins that
satisfy lateral references even if the joins would be clauseless.

* Fill in the infrastructure needed for the last few types of relation scan
paths to support parameterization.  We'd have wanted this eventually
anyway, but it is necessary now because a relation that gets pulled up out
of a UNION ALL subquery may acquire a reltargetlist containing lateral
references, meaning that its paths *have* to be parameterized whether or
not we have any code that can push join quals down into the scan.

* Compute data about lateral references early in query_planner(), and save
in RelOptInfo nodes, to avoid repetitive calculations later.

* Assorted corner-case bug fixes.

There's probably still some bugs left, but this is a lot closer to being
real than it was before.

The GUC check hooks for transaction_read_only and transaction_isolation
tried to check RecoveryInProgress(), so as to disallow setting read/write
mode or serializable isolation level (respectively) in hot standby
sessions.  However, GUC check hooks can be called in many situations where
we're not connected to shared memory at all, resulting in a crash in
RecoveryInProgress().  Among other cases, this results in EXEC_BACKEND
builds crashing during child process start if default_transaction_isolation
is serializable, as reported by Heikki Linnakangas.  Protect those calls
by silently allowing any setting when not inside a transaction; which is
okay anyway since these GUCs are always reset at start of transaction.

Also, add a check to GetSerializableTransactionSnapshot() to complain
if we are in hot standby.  We need that check despite the one in
check_XactIsoLevel() because default_transaction_isolation could be
serializable.  We don't want to complain any sooner than this in such
cases, since that would prevent running transactions at all in such a
state; but a transaction can be run, if SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION is done
before setting a snapshot.  Per report some months ago from Robert Haas.

Back-patch to 9.1, since these problems were introduced by the SSI patch.

If we revoke a grant option from some role X, but X still holds the option
via another grant, we should not recursively revoke the privilege from
role(s) Y that X had granted it to.  This was supposedly fixed as one
aspect of commit 4b2dafcc, but I must not
have tested it, because in fact that code never worked: it forgot to shift
the grant-option bits back over when masking the bits being revoked.

Per bug #6728 from Daniel German.  Back-patch to all active branches,
since this has been wrong since 8.0.

Just to check that they actually work.

As of 9.2, constraint exclusion should work okay with prepared statements:
the planner will try custom plans with actual values of the parameters,
and observe that they are a lot cheaper than the generic plan, and thus
never fall back to using the generic plan.  Noted by Tatsuhito Kasahara.

This is open to debate of course, but it's past time we had *something*
here.

A very large number of small improvements ...

The docs claimed that this mode only waits for the standby to receive WAL
data, but actually it waits for the data to be written out to the standby's
OS; which is a pretty significant difference because it removes the risk of
crash of the walreceiver process.

configuration file.

There was a hack put into install-sh to call strip with the correct
options on Mac OS X.  But that never worked, because configure
disabled stripping on that platform altogether.  So remove that dead
code, and while we're at it, update install-sh to the latest upstream
source (from Automake).

Instead, set up the right strip options in programs.m4, so this now
actually works the way it was originally intended.

This avoids a warning from clang 3.2 about an uninitialized variable
'dtype' in date_in().
