Remove elog() calls from find_my_exec;  do fprintf(stderr) instead.  We
can then remove the exec.c handling in the makefile because it doesn't
have to be built to suppress elog calls.

Create new get_* functions to access compiled-in paths and adjust if
relative installs are to be used.

Clean up substitute_libpath_macro() code.

a variant of the function for the 'numeric' datatype; it would be possible
to add additional variants for other datatypes, but I haven't done so yet.

This commit includes regression tests and minimal documentation; if we
want developers to actually use this function in applications, we'll
probably need to document what it does more fully.

pqexpbuffer.c.  While a client-side failure doesn't seem like a
security issue, it's still a bug.

This is required because once you link with a library that uses threads,
all references to that library have to use thread flags.

by Ken Ashcraft's report.  I think there is no actual bug here since if
the int32 value does wrap a little bit, palloc will still reject it.
Still it's better that the code be obviously correct.

find_my_exec/find_other_exec().  Remove passing of progname to these
functions as they can find that out from argv[0], which they already
have.

Make get_progname return const char *, and update all progname variables
to be const char *.

all the code that looks for other binaries.  I move FindExec into
port/exec.c (and renamed it to find_my_binary()).  I also added
find_other_binary that looks for another binary in the same directory as
the calling program, and checks the version string.

The only behavior change was that initdb and pg_dump would look in the
hard-coded bindir directory if it can't find the requested binary in the
same directory as the caller.  The new code throws an error.  The old
behavior seemed too error prone for version mismatches.
