fc2e2ef64e Fix datetime input parsing to accept YYYY-MONTHNAME-DD and related syntaxes,
which had been unintentionally broken by recent changes to tighten up the
DateStyle rules for all-numeric date input.  Add documentation and
regression tests for this, too.

5ccf7033bf Fix misstatement about the required value of SEMVMX. Given our current
usage of PGSemaMagic, the minimum required value is actually 537, but
say 1000 just to use a round number.  255 is *not* good enough.

f9310e10ab I have attached a more comprehensive MSWIN FAQ patch. Basically, the
instructions were way out of date and incorrect.  Installing Postgres
from Cygwin is easier these days than the FAQ would imply.

This patch already includes Andrew's previous patch.

8545482947 When a superuser does GRANT or REVOKE on an object he doesn't own,
process the command as though it were issued by the object owner.
This prevents creating weird scenarios in which the same privileges
may appear to flow from different sources, and ensures that a superuser
can in fact revoke all privileges if he wants to.  In particular this
means that the regression tests work when run by a superuser other than
the original bootstrap userid.  Per report from Larry Rosenman.
