proposal for OUT parameter support. The columns don't actually *do*
anything yet, they are just left NULLs. But I thought I'd commit this
part separately as a fairly pure example of the tasks needed when adding
a column to pg_proc or one of the other core system tables.
change saves a great deal of space in pg_proc and its primary index,
and it eliminates the former requirement that INDEX_MAX_KEYS and
FUNC_MAX_ARGS have the same value. INDEX_MAX_KEYS is still embedded
in the on-disk representation (because it affects index tuple header
size), but FUNC_MAX_ARGS is not. I believe it would now be possible
to increase FUNC_MAX_ARGS at little cost, but haven't experimented yet.
There are still a lot of vestigial references to FUNC_MAX_ARGS, which
I will clean up in a separate pass. However, getting rid of it
altogether would require changing the FunctionCallInfoData struct,
and I'm not sure I want to buy into that.
access: define new index access method functions 'amgetmulti' that can
fetch multiple TIDs per call. (The functions exist but are totally
untested as yet.) Since I was modifying pg_am anyway, remove the
no-longer-needed 'rel' parameter from amcostestimate functions, and
also remove the vestigial amowner column that was creating useless
work for Alvaro's shared-object-dependencies project.
Initdb forced due to changes in pg_am.
executing a statement that fires triggers. Formerly this time was
included in "Total runtime" but not otherwise accounted for.
As a side benefit, we avoid re-opening relations when firing non-deferred
AFTER triggers, because the trigger code can re-use the main executor's
ResultRelInfo data structure.
currently does. This is now the default Win32 wal sync method because
we perfer o_datasync to fsync.
Also, change Win32 fsync to a new wal sync method called
fsync_writethrough because that is the behavior of _commit, which is
what is used for fsync on Win32.
Backpatch to 8.0.X.

convention for isnull flags. Also, remove the useless InsertIndexResult
return struct from index AM aminsert calls --- there is no reason for
the caller to know where in the index the tuple was inserted, and we
were wasting a palloc cycle per insert to deliver this uninteresting
value (plus nontrivial complexity in some AMs).
I forced initdb because of the change in the signature of the aminsert
routines, even though nothing really looks at those pg_proc entries...
