Dean Rasheed 40c7fcbbed Improve the accuracy of numeric power() for integer exponents.
This makes the choice of result scale of numeric power() for integer
exponents consistent with the choice for non-integer exponents, and
with the result scale of other numeric functions. Specifically, the
result scale will be at least as large as the scale of either input,
and sufficient to ensure that the result has at least 16 significant
digits.

Formerly, the result scale was based only on the scale of the first
input, without taking into account the weight of the result. For
results with negative weight, that could lead to results with very few
or even no non-zero significant digits (e.g., 10.0 ^ (-18) produced
0.0000000000000000).

Fix this by moving responsibility for the choice of result scale into
power_var_int(), which already has code to estimate the result weight.

Per report by Adrian Klaver and suggested fix by Tom Lane.

No back-patch -- arguably this is a bug fix, but one which is easy to
work around, so it doesn't seem worth the risk of changing query
results in stable branches.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
