b14953932d Revise FDW planning API, again.
Further reflection shows that a single callback isn't very workable if we
desire to let FDWs generate multiple Paths, because that forces the FDW to
do all work necessary to generate a valid Plan node for each Path.  Instead
split the former PlanForeignScan API into three steps: GetForeignRelSize,
GetForeignPaths, GetForeignPlan.  We had already bit the bullet of breaking
the 9.1 FDW API for 9.2, so this shouldn't cause very much additional pain,
and it's substantially more flexible for complex FDWs.

Add an fdw_private field to RelOptInfo so that the new functions can save
state there rather than possibly having to recalculate information two or
three times.

In addition, we'd not thought through what would be needed to allow an FDW
to set up subexpressions of its choice for runtime execution.  We could
treat ForeignScan.fdw_private as an executable expression but that seems
likely to break existing FDWs unnecessarily (in particular, it would
restrict the set of node types allowable in fdw_private to those supported
by expression_tree_walker).  Instead, invent a separate field fdw_exprs
which will receive the postprocessing appropriate for expression trees.
(One field is enough since it can be a list of expressions; also, we assume
the corresponding expression state tree(s) will be held within fdw_state,
so we don't need to add anything to ForeignScanState.)

Per review of Hanada Shigeru's pgsql_fdw patch.  We may need to tweak this
further as we continue to work on that patch, but to me it feels a lot
closer to being right now.

9088d1b965 Add GetForeignColumnOptions() to foreign.c, and add some documentation.
GetForeignColumnOptions provides some abstraction for accessing
column-specific FDW options, on a par with the access functions that were
already provided here for other FDW-related information.

Adjust file_fdw.c to use GetForeignColumnOptions instead of equivalent
hand-rolled code.

In addition, add some SGML documentation for the functions exported by
foreign.c that are meant for use by FDW authors.

(This is the fdw_helper portion of the proposed pgsql_fdw patch.)

6b289942bf Redesign PlanForeignScan API to allow multiple paths for a foreign table.
The original API specification only allowed an FDW to create a single
access path, which doesn't seem like a terribly good idea in hindsight.
Instead, move the responsibility for building the Path node and calling
add_path() into the FDW's PlanForeignScan function.  Now, it can do that
more than once if appropriate.  There is no longer any need for the
transient FdwPlan struct, so get rid of that.

458857cc9d Throw a useful error message if an extension script file is fed to psql.
We have seen one too many reports of people trying to use 9.1 extension
files in the old-fashioned way of sourcing them in psql.  Not only does
that usually not work (due to failure to substitute for MODULE_PATHNAME
and/or @extschema@), but if it did work they'd get a collection of loose
objects not an extension.  To prevent this, insert an \echo ... \quit
line that prints a suitable error message into each extension script file,
and teach commands/extension.c to ignore lines starting with \echo.
That should not only prevent any adverse consequences of loading a script
file the wrong way, but make it crystal clear to users that they need to
do it differently now.

Tom Lane, following an idea of Andrew Dunstan's.  Back-patch into 9.1
... there is not going to be much value in this if we wait till 9.2.

86a3f2d492 Add FORCE_NOT_NULL support to the file_fdw foreign data wrapper.
This is implemented as a per-column boolean option, rather than trying
to match COPY's convention of a single option listing the column names.

6e6cc5910b Make the file_fdw validator check that a filename option has been provided.
This was already a runtime failure condition, but it's better to check
at validation time if possible.  Lightly modified version of a patch
by Shigeru Hanada.

b93f5a5673 Move Trigger and TriggerDesc structs out of rel.h into a new reltrigger.h
This lets us stop including rel.h into execnodes.h, which is a widely
used header.

f8ebe3bcc5 Support "make check" in contrib
Added a new option --extra-install to pg_regress to arrange installing
the respective contrib directory into the temporary installation.
This is currently not yet supported for Windows MSVC builds.

Updated the .gitignore files for contrib modules to ignore the
leftovers of a temp-install check run.

Changed the exit status of "make check" in a pgxs build (which still
does nothing) to 0 from 1.

Added "make check" in contrib to top-level "make check-world".

3cba8240a1 Add ENCODING option to COPY TO/FROM and file_fdw.
File encodings can be specified separately from client encoding.
If not specified, client encoding is used for backward compatibility.

Cases when the encoding doesn't match client encoding are slower
than matched cases because we don't have conversion procs for other
encodings. Performance improvement would be be a future work.

Original patch by Hitoshi Harada, and modified by me.

7c5d0ae707 Add contrib/file_fdw foreign-data wrapper for reading files via COPY.
This is both very useful in its own right, and an important test case
for the core FDW support.

This commit includes a small refactoring of copy.c to expose its option
checking code as a separately callable function.  The original patch
submission duplicated hundreds of lines of that code, which seemed pretty
unmaintainable.
