StartupXLOG and ShutdownXLOG no longer need to be critical sections, because
in all contexts where they are invoked, elog(ERROR) would be translated to
elog(FATAL) anyway.  (One change in bgwriter.c is needed to make this true:
set ExitOnAnyError before trying to exit.  This is a good fix anyway since
the existing code would have gone into an infinite loop on elog(ERROR) during
shutdown.)  That avoids a misleading report of PANIC during semi-orderly
failures.  Modify the postmaster to include the startup process in the set of
processes that get SIGTERM when a fast shutdown is requested, and also fix it
to not try to restart the bgwriter if the bgwriter fails while trying to write
the shutdown checkpoint.  Net result is that "pg_ctl stop -m fast" does
something reasonable for a system in warm standby mode, and so should Unix
system shutdown (ie, universal SIGTERM).  Per gripe from Stephen Harris and
some corner-case testing of my own.

result now depends on the lc_messages setting, as noted by Bruce.
Also, mark to_number() and the numeric-type variants of to_char() as stable,
because their results depend on lc_numeric; this is a longstanding oversight.
Also, mark to_date() and to_char(interval) as stable; although these appear
not to depend on any GUC variables as of CVS HEAD, that seems a property
unlikely to survive future improvements.  It seems best to mark all the
formatting functions stable and be done with it.

returning from do_copy.  The only known consequence of failing to do so is
that get_prompt might show a wrong result for the %x transaction status

vacuum/analyze timestamp columns at the end, rather than at a random
spot in the middle as in the original patch.  This was deemed more usable
as well as less likely to break existing application code.  initdb forced
accordingly.  In passing, remove former kluge for initializing
pg_stat_file()'s pg_proc entry --- bootstrap mode was fixed recently
so that this can be done without any hacks, but I overlooked this usage.

commutator operators, and mark hash-opclass members as oprcanhash.
This is a pretty ugly, brute-force solution, but it seems that getting
rid of all these redundant-looking operators would require some tweaks
in the core operator-resolution code to behave nicely, and I'm not
willing to risk that just before RC1.
