cff25fa049 Alter the signature for encoding conversion functions to declare the 
output area as INTERNAL not CSTRING.  This is to prevent people from
calling the functions by hand.  This is a permanent solution for the
back branches but I hope it is just a stopgap for HEAD.

95a6dbf12b Do a direct probe during postmaster startup to determine the maximum 
number of openable files and the number already opened.  This eliminates
depending on sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX), and allows much saner behavior on
platforms where open-file slots are used up by semaphores.

someone asked me about the FK deadlock fix, mentioned in the 7.3.3
release notes as 3rd change:

Actually, that fix was available with 7.4, not 7.3. Don't know if we can
retroactively change the release-notes though.

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.
