This reverts commit a06e41deeb of 2011-01-26.
Per discussion, this behavior is not wanted, as it would need to change if
we ever made composite types support DEFAULT.
In the case where the initial call of systable_getnext_ordered() returned
NULL, this function would nonetheless call it again. That's undefined
behavior that only by chance failed to not give visibly incorrect results.
Put an if-test around the final loop to prevent that, and in passing
improve some comments. No back-patch since there's no actual failure.
Per report from YAMAMOTO Takashi.
Synchronize pg_config.h.in with configure.in (someone must have
forgotten to run autoheader or autoreconf), and clean up some spurious
change in configure introduced by the last commit there.
Use the built-in TypeError, not SPIError, for errors having to do with
argument counts or types. Use SPIError, not simply plpy.Error, for
errors in PLy_spi_execute_plan. Finally, do not set a Python
exception if PyArg_ParseTuple failed, as it already sets the correct
exception.

The previous coding prevented ALTER TABLE .. ADD COLUMN from being used
with a non-NULL default in situations where the table's rowtype was being
used elsewhere. But this is a completely arbitrary restriction since
you could do the same operation in multiple steps (add the column, add
the default, update the table).
Inspired by a patch from Noah Misch, though I didn't use his code.
There isn't any need to track this state on a table-wide basis, and trying
to do so introduces undesirable semantic fuzziness. Move the flag to
pg_index, where it clearly describes just a single index and can be
immutable after index creation.
This feature allows a unique or pkey constraint to be created using an
already-existing unique index. While the constraint isn't very
functionally different from the bare index, it's nice to be able to do that
for documentation purposes. The main advantage over just issuing a plain
ALTER TABLE ADD UNIQUE/PRIMARY KEY is that the index can be created with
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY, so that there is not a long interval where the
table is locked against updates.
On the way, refactor some of the code in DefineIndex() and index_create()
so that we don't have to pass through those functions in order to create
the index constraint's catalog entries. Also, in parse_utilcmd.c, pass
around the ParseState pointer in struct CreateStmtContext to save on
notation, and add error location pointers to some error reports that didn't
have one before.

This is still pretty rough - among other things, the documentation
needs work, and the messages need a visit from the style police -
but this gets the basic framework in place.

While doing this, also move base backup options into
a struct instead of increasing the number of parameters
to multiple functions for each new option.
The target of sscanf with a %o format had better be of integer width,
but "mode_t" conceivably isn't that. Another compiler warning seen
only on some platforms; this one I think is potentially a real bug
and not just a warning.
Include the lefttype/righttype columns explicitly (instead of assuming
the reader can deduce them from the operator or function description),
and move the operator or function description to the end of the string,
to make it clearer that it's a referenced object and not the amop or
amproc item itself. Per extensive discussion of Andreas Karlsson's
original patch.

This reverts commit 740e54ca84, which seems
to have tickled an optimization bug in gcc 4.5.x, as reported upstream at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=671899
Since this patch had no purpose beyond code beautification, it's not
worth expending a lot of effort to look for another workaround.
