This will allow enums to be used in exclusion constraints.
The code uses the new CallerFInfoFunctionCall infrastructure in fmgr,
and the support for it added to btree_gist in commit 393bb504d7.

This adds in support for EUI-64 MAC addresses by adding a new data type
called 'macaddr8' (using our usual convention of indicating the number
of bytes stored).
This was largely a copy-and-paste from the macaddr data type, with
appropriate adjustments for having 8 bytes instead of 6 and adding
support for converting a provided EUI-48 (6 byte format) to the EUI-64
format. Conversion from EUI-48 to EUI-64 inserts FFFE as the 4th and
5th bytes but does not perform the IPv6 modified EUI-64 action of
flipping the 7th bit, but we add a function to perform that specific
action for the user as it may be commonly done by users who wish to
calculate their IPv6 address based on their network prefix and 48-bit
MAC address.
Author: Haribabu Kommi, with a good bit of rework of macaddr8_in by me.

I'd supposed that people would do this manually when creating new operator
classes, but the folly of that was exposed today. The tests seem fast
enough that we can just apply them during the normal regression tests.
contrib/isn fails the checks for lack of complete sets of cross-type
operators. That's a nice-to-have policy rather than a functional
requirement, so leave it as-is, but insert ORDER BY in the query to
ensure consistent cross-platform output.

Fix still another bug in commit 35fcb1b3d: it failed to fully initialize
the SortSupport states it introduced to allow the executor to re-check
ORDER BY expressions containing distance operators. That led to a null
pointer dereference if the sortsupport code tried to use ssup_cxt. The
problem only manifests in narrow cases, explaining the lack of previous
field reports. It requires a GiST-indexable distance operator that lacks
SortSupport and is on a pass-by-ref data type, which among core+contrib
seems to be only btree_gist's interval opclass; and it requires the scan
to be done as an IndexScan not an IndexOnlyScan, which explains how
btree_gist's regression test didn't catch it. Per bug #14134 from
Jihyun Yu.

Buildfarm member skink failed with symptoms suggesting that an
auto-analyze had happened and changed the plan displayed for a
test query. Although this is evidently of low probability,
regression tests that sometimes fail are no fun, so add commands
to force a bitmap scan to be chosen.
The previous coding in get_const_expr() tried to avoid quoting integer,
float, and numeric literals if at all possible. While that looks nice,
it means that dumped expressions might re-parse to something that's
semantically equivalent but not the exact same parsetree; for example
a FLOAT8 constant would re-parse as a NUMERIC constant with a cast to
FLOAT8. Though the result would be the same after constant-folding,
this is problematic in certain contexts. In particular, Jeff Davis
pointed out that this could cause unexpected failures in ALTER INHERIT
operations because of child tables having not-exactly-equivalent CHECK
expressions. Therefore, favor correctness over legibility and dump
such constants in quotes except in the limited cases where they'll
be interpreted as the same type even without any casting.
This results in assorted small changes in the regression test outputs,
and will affect display of user-defined views and rules similarly.
The odds of that causing problems in the field seem non-negligible;
given the lack of previous complaints, it seems best not to change
this in the back branches.
inet, cidr, and timetz indexes still cannot support index-only scans,
because they don't store the original unmodified value in the index, but a
derived approximate value.
This isn't fully tested as yet, in particular I'm not sure that the
"foo--unpackaged--1.0.sql" scripts are OK. But it's time to get some
buildfarm cycles on it.
sepgsql is not converted to an extension, mainly because it seems to
require a very nonstandard installation process.

about best practice for including the module creation scripts: to wit
that you should suppress NOTICE messages. This avoids creating
regression failures by adding or removing comment lines in the module
scripts.
calculations for interval and time/timetz to behave sanely for both
integer and float timestamps; up to now I think it's been doing
something pretty strange...
- Fix wrong index results on text, char, varchar for multibyte strings
- Fix some SIGFPE signals
- Add support for infinite timestamps
- Because of locale settings, btree_gist can not be a prefix index anymore (for text).
Each node holds now just the lower and upper boundary.
