2ff501590b Tag appropriate files for rc3
Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...

1ade4b33f6 Triggers should return TRIGGER not OPAQUE. Looks like this script got
overlooked in 7.3 updates.  Not a critical fix but avoids a notice when
the resulting SQL script is executed.

eee5abce46 Refactor EXEC_BACKEND code so that postmaster child processes reattach
to shared memory as soon as possible, ie, right after read_backend_variables.
The effective difference from the original code is that this happens
before instead of after read_nondefault_variables(), which loads GUC
information and is apparently capable of expanding the backend's memory
allocation more than you'd think it should.  This should fix the
failure-to-attach-to-shared-memory reports we've been seeing on Windows.
Also clean up a few bits of unnecessarily grotty EXEC_BACKEND code.

d9236a69fc Make libpq default to localhost connections on machines without Unix-domain
sockets, rather than failing as it formerly did.  Revert the
thereby-obsoleted patch to make psql supply the localhost default.

370f90970d Cause pg_hba.conf file inclusion (@file stuff) to behave as documented,
that is, files are sought in the same directory as the referencing file.
Also allow absolute paths in @file constructs.  Improve documentation
to actually say what is allowed in an included file.

f0c08ae7c9 Remove 'optimization' to skip resolve_symlinks() when the found
executable file isn't itself a symlink.  We still need to run the
algorithm so that any directory symlinks in the path to the
executable are replaced by a true path.  Noticed this on seeing
pg_config give me a completely wrong answer for --pkglibdir when
I called it through a symlink to the installation bindir.

9405e14e00 Switch order of WHERE clauses in tab completion queries, as suggested
by Rod Taylor.  The foo_is_visible() functions are relatively slow and
so it pays to check them after checking the name pattern match.

bfa5f30481 Awhile back I added some code to StartupCLOG() to forcibly zero out
the remainder of the current clog page during system startup.  While
this was a good idea, it turns out the code fails if nextXid is
exactly at a page boundary, because we won't have created the "current"
clog page yet in that case.  Since the page will be correctly zeroed
when we execute the first transaction on it, the solution is just to
do nothing when exactly at a page boundary.  Per trouble report from
Dave Hartwig.

96b42de9a8 exec_eval_simple_expr() needs to do CommandCounterIncrement() not just
GetTransactionSnapshot() to ensure ActiveSnapshot advances properly.
