This function will be useful for altering the lifespan of a context after
creation (for example, by creating it under a transient context and later
reparenting it to belong to a long-lived context).  It costs almost no new
code, since we can refactor what was there.  Per my proposal of yesterday.

This addresses only those cases that are easy to fix by adding or
moving a const qualifier or removing an unnecessary cast.  There are
many more complicated cases remaining.

Apparently, this only happens on 64-bit platforms.

BREAKAGE.

Remove double-quoting of index/table names in reindexdb.  BACKWARD
COMPABILITY BREAKAGE.

Document thate user/database names are preserved with double-quoting by
command-line tools like vacuumdb.

Add __attribute__ decorations for printf format checking to the places that
were missing them.  Fix the resulting warnings.  Add
-Wmissing-format-attribute to the standard set of warnings for GCC, so these
don't happen again.

The warning fixes here are relatively harmless.  The one serious problem
discovered by this was already committed earlier in
cf15fb5c.

New header datatype/timestamp.h should be installed for server-side dev.

Reported by Grzegorz Szpetkowski.

I thought we had enough infrastructure to absorb CPPFLAGS changes from
the makefiles, but buildfarm says otherwise.

We were doing some amazingly complicated things in order to avoid running
the very expensive identify_system_timezone() procedure during GUC
initialization.  But there is an obvious fix for that, which is to do it
once during initdb and have initdb install the system-specific default into
postgresql.conf, as it already does for most other GUC variables that need
system-environment-dependent defaults.  This means that the timezone (and
log_timezone) settings no longer have any magic behavior in the server.
Per discussion.

As per my recent proposal, this refactors things so that these typedefs and
macros are available in a header that can be included in frontend-ish code.
I also changed various headers that were undesirably including
utils/timestamp.h to include datatype/timestamp.h instead.  Unsurprisingly,
this showed that half the system was getting utils/timestamp.h by way of
xlog.h.

No actual code changes here, just header refactoring.

When building a GiST index that doesn't fit in cache, buffers are attached
to some internal nodes in the index. This speeds up the build by avoiding
random I/O that would otherwise be needed to traverse all the way down the
tree to the find right leaf page for tuple.

Trailing-zero stripping applied by the FM specifier could strip zeroes
to the left of the decimal point, for a format with no digit positions
after the decimal point (such as "FM999.").

Per Euler Taveira de Oliveira.

With 9.1's use of Params to pass down values from NestLoop join nodes
to their inner plans, it is possible for a Param to have type RECORD, in
which case the set of fields comprising the value isn't determinable by
inspection of the Param alone.  However, just as with a Var of type RECORD,
we can find out what we need to know if we can locate the expression that
the Param represents.  We already knew how to do this in get_parameter(),
but I'd overlooked the need to be able to cope in get_name_for_var_field(),
which led to EXPLAIN failing with "record type has not been registered".

To fix, refactor the search code in get_parameter() so it can be used by
both functions.

Per report from Marti Raudsepp.

The code in shift_jis_20042euc_jis_2004() would fetch two bytes even when
only one remained in the string.  Since conversion functions aren't
supposed to assume null-terminated input, this poses a small risk of
fetching past the end of memory and incurring SIGSEGV.  No such crash has
been identified in the field, but we've certainly seen the equivalent
happen in other code paths, so patch this one all the way back.

Report and patch by Noah Misch.

Since the last couple of columns of pg_type are often NULL,
sizeof(FormData_pg_type) can be an overestimate of the actual size of the
tuple data part.  Therefore memcpy'ing that much out of the catalog cache,
as analyze.c was doing, poses a small risk of copying past the end of
memory and incurring SIGSEGV.  No such crash has been identified in the
field, but we've certainly seen the equivalent happen in other code paths,
so patch this one all the way back.

Per valgrind testing by Noah Misch, though this is not his proposed patch.
I chose to use SearchSysCacheCopy1 rather than inventing special-purpose
infrastructure for copying only the minimal part of a pg_type tuple.

We've now seen more than one gripe from somebody who didn't get the memo
about how to install contrib modules in 9.1.  Try to make it a little more
prominent that you aren't supposed to call the scripts directly anymore.

This example wasn't updated when we changed the behavior of bpcharlen()

cast function in 7.3.  Per report from lsliang.
