Fix integer types to use definition from c.h. Per bug report by Patrick Boulay <patrick.boulay@medrium.com>

substructure, which breaks inheritance_planner because the rte->inh

from Chris Piker.

attr_needed/attr_widths optimization failed to allow for Vars with attno

prevents view from showing constraints on domains.  This addresses the
other half of Claus Colloseus' bug report.

for bit(x), the typmod stores x+4, like for the character types.)

reduce the number of times TopoSort() has to be executed by trying to
extract multiple dependency loops from each pass, instead of only one.
This saves about another factor of ten on the regression database.
This could be considered as another exercise in grokking Fred Brooks'

one (use a priority heap to keep track of items ready to output, instead
of searching the input array each time).  This brings the runtime of
pg_dump back to about what it was in 7.4.

pg_depend to determine a safe dump order.  Defaults and check constraints
can be emitted either as part of a table or domain definition, or
separately if that's needed to break a dependency loop.  Lots of old
half-baked code for controlling dump order removed.

NAMEDATALEN, BLCKSZ, HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP). Also added "category",
"short_desc", and "extra_desc" to the pg_settings view. Per recent

critical in 7.4 because it affects varchar columns.  Per report from

pg_autovacuum looses track of any table that's ever been truncated
(possibly other situations too).   When i truncate a table it gets a
new relfilenode in pg_class.  This is a problem because pg_autovacuum
assumes pg_class.relfilenode will join to pg_stats_all_tables.relid.
pg_stats_all_tables.relid is actallly the oid from pg_class, not the
relfilenode.   These two values start out equal so pg_autovacuum works
initially, but it fails later on because of this incorrect assumption.

This patch fixes that problem.  Applied to HEAD and 7.4.X.
