76d5f6f035 expression_tree_walker failed to let walker function see the immediate child
node of a SubLink or SubPlan testexpr field.  Bug resulted from replacing
the old lefthand/exprs list fields with a simple expression field, and not
remembering that expression_tree_walker is coded to save a few cycles by
recursing directly to self on list fields (on the assumption the walker
isn't interested in List nodes per se).  On non-list fields it must of
course call the walker.  Possibly that hack isn't worth the risk of more
such bugs, but I'll leave it be for now.  Per bug report from James Robinson.

4df8de7a68 Fix check for whether a clauseless join has to be forced in the presence of
outer joins.  Originally it was only looking for overlap of the righthand
side of a left join, but we have to do it on the lefthand side too.
Per example from Jean-Pierre Pelletier.

d8221dfa6d Tweak zic.c to compile cleanly on MSVC: use CopyFile instead of
CopyFileEx.  This avoids a warning about the function not being
present on older Windows versions.  Magnus Hagander

This was required back when RESUME_INTERRUPTS could actually
execute ProcessInterrupts, but that hasn't been true since 2001...

a5007d671a pgbench: More fix with handling default scaling factor in the default
scenarios. With multiple clinets, only the first client got the right
scaling factor and this gave a illusion of better performance in case
of the scaling factor greater than 1.

4887f5f979 Rename our substitute qsort to pg_qsort at the link-symbol level (but
provide a macro so code can still just say qsort).  Avoids linker warnings
on pickier platforms such as Darwin, and outright failure on MSVC.

681892208f Make sure that debug_query_string contains the original query text,
if available (which it usually should be), during processing of Bind
and Execute protocol messages.  This improves usefulness of
log_min_error_statement logging for extended query protocol.

dbb397f30f Work around reported problem that AIX's getaddrinfo() doesn't seem to zero
sin_port in the returned IP address struct when servname is NULL.  This has
been observed to cause failure to bind the stats collection socket, and
could perhaps cause other issues too.  Per reports from Brad Nicholson
and Chris Browne.

1e758d5263 Add some code to CREATE DATABASE to check for pre-existing subdirectories
that conflict with the OID that we want to use for the new database.
This avoids the risk of trying to remove files that maybe we shouldn't
remove.  Per gripe from Jon Lapham and subsequent discussion of 27-Sep.

877f08da14 Fix up timetz input so that a date is required only when the specified
timezone actually has a daylight-savings rule.  This avoids breaking
cases that used to work because they went through the DecodePosixTimezone
code path.  Per contrib regression failures (mea culpa for not running
those yesterday...).  Also document the already-applied change to allow
GMT offsets up to 14 hours.

022fd99668 Fix up some problems in handling of zic-style time zone names in datetime
input routines.  Remove the former "DecodePosixTimezone" function in favor of
letting the zic code handle POSIX-style zone specs (see tzparse()).  In
particular this means that "PST+3" now means the same as "-03", whereas it
used to mean "-11" --- the zone abbreviation is effectively just a noise word
in this syntax.  Make sure that all named and POSIX-style zone names will be
parsed as a single token.  Fix long-standing bogosities in printing and input
of fractional-hour timezone offsets (since the tzparse() code will accept
these, we'd better make 'em work).  Also correct an error in the original
coding of the zic-zone-name patch: in "timestamp without time zone" input,
zone names are supposed to be allowed but ignored, but the coding was such
that the zone changed the interpretation anyway.
