1610fcc351 Some marginal tweaks to make 'make installcheck' mostly work when
building contrib with USE_PGXS.  To make it work all the way, the
pg_regress script would need to be included in the installation tree.

4fc935a5d4 Fix problems with PGXS builds against an installation tree that was
relocated after installation.  We can't trust the installation paths
inserted into Makefile.global by configure, so instead we must get the
paths from pg_config.  This requires extending pg_config to support all
the separately-configurable path names, but that was on TODO anyway.

0b36cb83dc PGXS should be set with := not =, as specified in the documentation,
to avoid useless multiple executions of pg_config.

e990b9ce23 The original patch to avoid building a hash join's hashtable when the
outer relation is empty did not work, per test case from Patrick Welche.
It tried to use nodeHashjoin.c's high-level mechanisms for fetching an
outer-relation tuple, but that code expected the hash table to be filled
already.  As patched, the code failed in corner cases such as having no
outer-relation tuples for the first hash batch.  Revert and rewrite.

54a8af058e In a machine where INT64_IS_BUSTED, we can only support 32-bit values
for int8 and related types.  However we might be talking to a client
that has working int64; so pq_getmsgint64 really needs to check the
incoming value and throw an overflow error if we can't represent it
accurately.
