fa5e44017a Adjust the API for aggregate function calls so that a C-coded function
can tell whether it is being used as an aggregate or not.  This allows
such a function to avoid re-pallocing a pass-by-reference transition
value; normally it would be unsafe for a function to scribble on an input,
but in the aggregate case it's safe to reuse the old transition value.
Make int8inc() do this.  This gets a useful improvement in the speed of
COUNT(*), at least on narrow tables (it seems to be swamped by I/O when
the table rows are wide).  Per a discussion in early December with
Neil Conway.  I also fixed int_aggregate.c to check this, thereby
turning it into something approaching a supportable technique instead
of being a crude hack.

595ed2a855 Make the behavior of HAVING without GROUP BY conform to the SQL spec.
Formerly, if such a clause contained no aggregate functions we mistakenly
treated it as equivalent to WHERE.  Per spec it must cause the query to
be treated as a grouped query of a single group, the same as appearance
of aggregate functions would do.  Also, the HAVING filter must execute
after aggregate function computation even if it itself contains no
aggregate functions.

5d5087363d Replace the BufMgrLock with separate locks on the lookup hashtable and
the freelist, plus per-buffer spinlocks that protect access to individual
shared buffer headers.  This requires abandoning a global freelist (since
the freelist is a global contention point), which shoots down ARC and 2Q
as well as plain LRU management.  Adopt a clock sweep algorithm instead.
Preliminary results show substantial improvement in multi-backend situations.

! authentication.  Use of this environment variable is not
