d694bdd1c9 Support explicit placement of the temporary-table schema within search_path. 
This is needed to allow a security-definer function to set a truly secure
value of search_path.  Without it, a malicious user can use temporary objects
to execute code with the privileges of the security-definer function.  Even
pushing the temp schema to the back of the search path is not quite good
enough, because a function or operator at the back of the path might still
capture control from one nearer the front due to having a more exact datatype
match.  Hence, disable searching the temp schema altogether for functions and
operators.

1a72f357e3 Arrange to install a "posixrules" entry in our timezone database, so that 
POSIX-style timezone specs that don't exactly match any database entry will
be treated as having correct USA DST rules.  Also, document that this can
be changed if you want to use some other DST rules with a POSIX zone spec.

We could consider changing localtime.c's TZDEFRULESTRING, but since that
facility can only deal with one DST transition rule, it seems fairly useless
now; might as well just plan to override it using a "posixrules" entry.

Backpatch as far as 8.0.  There isn't much we can do in 7.x ... either your
libc gets it right, or it doesn't.

e2d6898827 Update documentation for backslashes to mention escape string syntax 
more, and standard_conforming_strings less, because in the future non-E
strings will not treat backslashes specially.

Also use E'' strings where backslashes are used in examples. (The
existing examples would have drawn warnings.)

65fe39ee0a Fix handling of CC (century) format spec in to_date/to_char. According to 
standard convention the 21st century runs from 2001-2100, not 2000-2099,
so make it work like that.  Per bug #2885 from Akio Iwaasa.

Backpatch to 8.2, but no further, since this is really a definitional
change; users of older branches are probably more interested in stability.
