375369acd1 Replace TupleTableSlot convention for whole-row variables and function
results with tuples as ordinary varlena Datums.  This commit does not
in itself do much for us, except eliminate the horrid memory leak
associated with evaluation of whole-row variables.  However, it lays the
groundwork for allowing composite types as table columns, and perhaps
some other useful features as well.  Per my proposal of a few days ago.

a302b8e150 Back out tutorial changes:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  In keeping with the recent discussion that there should be more
said about views, stored procedures, and triggers, in the tutorial, I
have added a bit of verbiage to that end.

2.  Some formatting changes to the datetime discussion, as well as
addition of a citation of a relevant book on calendars.

f2c064afcb Cleanup vectors of GISTENTRY and eliminate problem with 64-bit strict-aligned
boxes. Change interface to user-defined GiST support methods union and
picksplit. Now instead of bytea struct it used special GistEntryVector
structure.

8d9a28eeef Use fuzzy comparison of path costs in add_path(), so that paths with the
same path keys and nearly equivalent costs will be considered redundant.
The exact nature of the fuzziness may get adjusted later based on current
discussions, but no one has shot a hole in the basic idea yet ...

7820ee24c9 Now that we are allowing index opclasses to contain operators that are
only stable and not immutable, pred_test_simple_clause has to guard
against making invalid deductions.  Add a test for immutability of
the selected test_op.

457ad3925d Add a more useful error message for the case where someone tries to pass
a whole row or record variable into a SQL function.  Eventually this case
should be made to actually work, but for now this is better than what it
did before.

8899a2aba9 Replace max_expr_depth parameter with a max_stack_depth parameter that
is measured in kilobytes and checked against actual physical execution
stack depth, as per my proposal of 30-Dec.  This gives us a fairly
bulletproof defense against crashing due to runaway recursive functions.

with socket calls in signal handlers (APC) on Win32. See details in mail
to pgsql-hackers-win32 a couple of minutes ago.

f23cce73b3 Use the new GUC variable default_with_oids in pg_dump, rather than using
WITH/WITHOUT OIDS in dump files.  This makes dump files more portable.

I have updated the pg_dump version so old binary dumps will load fine.

Pre-7.5 dumps use WITHOUT OIDS in SQL were needed, so they should be
fine.

48b2802eee When changing select() calls for delays into pg_usleep(), two comments
in s_lock.c were not updated, and still refers to select. Made my grep
hit the wrong files, so I figured a simple patch was in order.. (other
refs in the same comment block was changed..)
