e3b9852728 Teach planner how to rearrange join order for some classes of OUTER JOIN.
Per my recent proposal.  I ended up basing the implementation on the
existing mechanism for enforcing valid join orders of IN joins --- the
rules for valid outer-join orders are somewhat similar.

04db9d25d1 there's a paragraph in the ALTER TABLE reference page that reads:
DROP CONSTRAINT

    This form drops constraints on a table. Currently, constraints on tables
    are not required to have unique names, so there may be more than one
    constraint matching the specified name. All matching constraints will be
    dropped.

To my knowledge, it is no longer possible to create constraints with the
same name for the same relation. When you create a constraint and specify
the same name explictly, an error is raised. Implicit constraint creation
won't choose an existing name either and up to now you could not rename a
constraint. Renaming works with the patch I sent in a few hours ago but this
patch as well won't allow constraints with identical names on the same
relation.

The attached patch thus removes the note in the docs.

dae896b67d Since my name has a non-ascii-letter in it, it's often spelled wrong. In
the latest release notes there is a latin1 character that shouldn't be
there so I made a patch to fix that. This patch also fixes some old
entries that uses o instead of ö (which is also wrong but not as
bad as including a latin1 character in the sgml file).

d20901a39b Allow to_char(interval) and to_char(time) to use AM/PM specifications.
Map them to a single day, so '30 hours' is 'AM'.

Have to_char(interval) and to_char(time) use "HH", "HH12" as 12-hour
intervals, rather than bypass and print the full interval hours.  This
is neeeded because to_char(time) is mapped to interval in this function.
Intervals should use "HH24", and document suggestion.

Allow "D" format specifiers for interval/time.

cec3b0a9e6 Implement DROP OWNED and REASSIGN OWNED. These new commands facilitate the
process of dropping roles by dropping objects owned by them and privileges
granted to them, or giving the owned objects to someone else, through the
use of the data stored in the new pg_shdepend catalog.

Some refactoring of the GRANT/REVOKE code was needed, as well as ALTER OWNER
code.  Further cleanup of code duplication in the GRANT code seems necessary.

Implemented by me after an idea from Tom Lane, who also provided various kind
of implementation advice.

Regression tests pass.  Some tests for the new functionality are also added,
as well as rudimentary documentation.

1e9a1a70ad Change array_push and array_cat so that they retain the lower bound of
the array (for array_push) or higher-dimensional array (for array_cat)
rather than decrementing it as before.  This avoids generating lower
bounds other than one for any array operation within the SQL spec.  Per
recent discussion.
Interestingly, this seems to have been the original behavior, because
while updating the docs I noticed that a large fraction of relevant
examples were *wrong* for the old behavior and are now right.  Is it
worth correcting this in the back-branch docs?

cecb607559 Make SQL arrays support null elements. This commit fixes the core array
functionality, but I still need to make another pass looking at places
that incidentally use arrays (such as ACL manipulation) to make sure they
are null-safe.  Contrib needs work too.
I have not changed the behaviors that are still under discussion about
array comparison and what to do with lower bounds.
