user must initialize the lock. The problem are concurrent "first" users
- the pthread_mutex_t initialization must be synchronized.
The current implementation is broken, the attached patches fixes that:
mutex_initlock is a spinlock. If the pthread_mutex_t mutex is not
initialized, then the spinlock is acquired, if the pthread_mutex_t is
initialized if it's not yet initialized and then the spinlock is
dropped.

live in database or schema's default tablespace, as per today's discussion.
Also, remove some unused keywords from the grammar (PATH, PENDANT,
VERSION), and fix ALSO, which was added as a keyword but not added
to the keyword classification lists, thus making it worse-than-reserved.

some other examples for CREATE DATABASE.

probably should have been to begin with; this is to cover cases like
needing to recreate the per-db directory during WAL replay.
Also, fix heap_create to force pg_class.reltablespace to be zero instead
of the database's default tablespace; this makes the world safe for
CREATE DATABASE to handle all tables in the default tablespace alike,
as per previous discussion.  And force pg_class.reltablespace to zero
when creating a relation without physical storage (eg, a view); this
avoids possibly having dangling references in this column after a
subsequent DROP TABLESPACE.

shift support code into heapam.c accordingly.  This is in service of
soon-to-be-committed ALTER TABLE SET TABLESPACE code that will want to
use this same record type for both heaps and indexes.

Theoretically I should have forced initdb for this, but in practice there
is no change in xlog contents because CVS tip will never really emit this
record type anyhow...

control-z requirement.

than 'datetime BC zone', because the former is accepted by the timestamptz
input converter while the latter may not be depending on spacing.  This
is not a loss of compatibility w.r.t. 7.4 and before, because until very
recently there was never a case where we'd output both zone and 'BC'.

pg_ident.conf files.

accurate matching of our time zone to the system's zone.  This method is
able to distinguish Antarctica/Casey from Australia/Perth, as in Chris
K-L's recent example; and it is not materially slower than before, because
the extra checks generally don't get done against very many time zones.

It seems possible that with this test we'd be able to correctly identify
Windows timezones without looking at the timezone name, but I do not
have the ability to try it.
