This adds a column called "Definition" to the output of psql \d on an
index, which shows the full expression behind the index column. For indexes
on plain columns, this is redundant, but for expression indexes, this
reveals the real expression.

parentheses around the <query expression body> that follows a WITH clause, eg
with cte(foo) as ( values(0) ) ((select foo from cte));
This seems to be just an oversight/thinko in gram.y. Noted while
experimenting with bug #4902.
the "cteParam" as a proxy for the possibility that the underlying CTE plan
depends on outer-level variables or Params, but that doesn't work very well
because it sometimes causes calling subqueries to be treated as SubPlans when
they could be InitPlans. This is inefficient and also causes the outright
failure exhibited in bug #4902. Instead, leave the cteParam out of it and
copy the underlying CTE plan's extParams directly. Per bug #4902 from
Marko Tiikkaja.
As per discussion, \d shows only the number of child tables, because that
could be hundreds, when used for partitioning. \d+ shows the actual list.

This upgrades the configure infrastructure to the latest Autoconf version.
Some notable news are:
- The workaround for the broken fseeko() test is gone.
- Checking for unknown options is now provided by Autoconf itself.
- Fixes for Mac OS X
I wrote this one while chasing down some bugs in the closing days of 8.4. It
could be useful in the long run. This area of the code had no test coverage
at all before.
archive recovery. Invent a separate state variable and inquiry function
for XLogInsertAllowed() to clarify some tests and make the management of
writing the end-of-recovery checkpoint less klugy. Fix several places
that were incorrectly testing InRecovery when they should be looking at
RecoveryInProgress or XLogInsertAllowed (because they will now be executed
in the bgwriter not startup process). Clarify handling of bad LSNs passed
to XLogFlush during recovery. Use a spinlock for setting/testing
SharedRecoveryInProgress. Improve quite a lot of comments.

during it:
When bgwriter is active, the startup process can't perform mdsync() correctly
because it won't see the fsync requests accumulated in bgwriter's private
pendingOpsTable. Therefore make bgwriter responsible for the end-of-recovery
checkpoint as well, when it's active.
When bgwriter is active (= archive recovery), the startup process must not
accumulate fsync requests to its own pendingOpsTable, since bgwriter won't
see them there when it performs restartpoints. Make startup process drop its
pendingOpsTable when bgwriter is launched to avoid that.
Update minimum recovery point one last time when leaving archive recovery.
It won't be updated by the end-of-recovery checkpoint because XLogFlush()
sees us as out of recovery already.
This fixes bug #4879 reported by Fujii Masao.
acting like runs inside WAL recovery, but it doesn't. I must've copy-pasted
this from a redo-function in the relation forks patch. Noticed by Tom Lane
while he was looking through callers of smgrdounlink().
a number of other geometric operators also depend on. It miscalculated the
slope of the perpendicular to the given line segment anytime that slope was
other than 0, infinite, or +/-1. In some cases the error would be masked
because the true closest point on the line segment was one of its endpoints
rather than the intersection point, but in other cases it could give an
arbitrarily bad answer. Per bug #4872 from Nick Roosevelt.
Bug goes clear back to Berkeley days, so patch all supported branches.
Make a couple of cosmetic adjustments while at it.
used to work as intended, but got broken some time ago (a quoted empty string
is not an empty string), and got broken some more by the changes to generate
ecpg's preproc.y automatically. Given all the unprotected uses of $(PERL)
elsewhere, it seems best to make use of the $(missing) script rather than
trying to ensure each such use is protected individually. Also fix various
bits of documentation that omitted to mention Perl as a requirement for
building from a CVS pull. Per a complaint from Robert Haas.
of the 256KB limit originally enforced by a patch committed 2008-11-06.
Per recent test results, the smaller size resulted in an undesirable decrease
in bulk data loading speed, due to COPY processing frequently getting blocked
for WAL flushing. This area might need more tweaking later, but this setting
seems to be good enough for 8.4.
even when not in FM mode. This improves compatibility with Oracle and with
our pre-8.4 behavior, as per bug #4862.

Add a couple of regression test cases for this. In passing, get rid of the
labeling of the individual test cases; doesn't seem to be good for anything
except causing extra work when inserting a test...

ArrayBuildState, per trouble report from Merlin Moncure. By adopting
this fix, we are essentially deciding that aggregate final-functions
should not modify their inputs ever. Adjust documentation and comments
to match that conclusion.
types in CREATE TRIGGER. While at it, clean up the amazingly tedious and
inextensible way that the trigger event type list was handled. Per report
from Greg Sabino Mullane.
aggregated tuple of a run. Per report from Laurenz Albe. This is a new
bug in 8.4, but only because prior versions rejected SRFs in an Agg plan
node altogether.
This prevents autovacuum from reclaiming free space in them and causing
the test's output row order to change, which is causing intermittent
bogus failure reports in the buildfarm.
Backpatch to 8.3. The issue exists further back, but since autovacuum was
not on by default before 8.3, it's not a problem for buildfarm testing.
function returning setof record. This used to work, more or less
accidentally, but I had broken it while extending the code to allow
materialize-mode functions to be called in select lists. Add a regression
test case so it doesn't get broken again. Per gripe from Greg Davidson.
rsinfo->expectedDesc == NULL in deflist_to_tuplestore(), but that doesn't
look very safe to me. Noted in passing while studying problem report
from Greg Davidson.
