Implement new 'lightweight lock manager' that's intermediate between
...
existing lock manager and spinlocks: it understands exclusive vs shared
lock but has few other fancy features. Replace most uses of spinlocks
with lightweight locks. All remaining uses of spinlocks have very short
lock hold times (a few dozen instructions), so tweak spinlock backoff
code to work efficiently given this assumption. All per my proposal on
pghackers 26-Sep-01.

Add an overall timeout on the client authentication cycle, so that
...
a hung client or lost connection can't indefinitely block a postmaster
child (not to mention the possibility of deliberate DoS attacks).
Timeout is controlled by new authentication_timeout GUC variable,
which I set to 60 seconds by default ... does that seem reasonable?

Generate index.html as the root file name of the documentation set,
...
rather than making index.html a symlink to the autogenerated name.
Fixes fatal problems with tar programs that don't handle symlinks
very well (MacOS X).
(The names user.html, admin.html, etc. are still available as make
targets, but they aren't packaged anymore.)
Use the manifest file that the stylesheets generate as the file list
for packaging. Put graphics in the right place while building, not
while packaging, so you can actually look at them after building.
