tests for the new interval->day changes. I added tests for
justify_hours() and justify_days() to interval.sql, as they take
interval input and produce interval output. If there's a more
appropriate place for them, please let me know.

continue to recurse after eliminating a NOT-below-a-NOT, since the
contained subexpression will now be part of the top-level AND/OR structure
and so deserves to be simplified. The real-world impact of this is
probably minimal, since it'd require at least three levels of NOT to make
a difference, but it's still a bug.
Also remove some redundant tests for NULL subexpressions.
track shared relations in a separate hashtable, so that operations done
from different databases are counted correctly. Add proper support for
anti-XID-wraparound vacuuming, even in databases that are never connected
to and so have no stats entries. Miscellaneous other bug fixes.

Also, write multiple WAL buffers out in one write() operation.

An attached patch is a small additional improvement.
This patch use appendStringInfoText instead of appendStringInfoString.
There is an overhead of PG_TEXT_GET_STR when appendStringInfoString is
executed by text type. This can be reduced by appendStringInfoText.

planning logic for bitmap indexscans. Partial indexes create corner
cases in which a scan might be done with no explicit index qual conditions,
and the code wasn't handling those cases nicely. Also be a little
tenser about eliminating redundant clauses in the generated plan.
Per report from Dmitry Karasik.
