53ae7acbba Add SGML documentation for contrib/spi and contrib/test_parser.
The spi documentation is pretty rudimentary, but it's a start.

a63b63ff96 Revert COPY OUT to follow the pre-8.3 handling of ASCII control characters,
namely that \r, \n, \t, \b, \f, \v are dumped as those two-character
representations rather than a backslash and the literal control character.
I had made it do the other to save some code, but this was ill-advised,
because dump files in which these characters appear literally are prone to
newline mangling.  Fortunately, doing it the old way should only cost a few
more lines of code, and not slow down the copy loop materially.
Per bug #3795 from Lou Duchez.

3b3251cb95 Ensure that all <sect1> and <refentry> tags have IDs. This is needed
to ensure that the resulting webpages have predictable URLs, instead of
ever-changing numeric IDs.  The new contrib docs were the biggest
offender, but some old stuff had the problem too.  Also, rename a couple
of new contrib sgml files for consistency's sake.

265f904d8f Code review for LIKE ... INCLUDING INDEXES patch. Fix failure to propagate
constraint status of copied indexes (bug #3774), as well as various other
small bugs such as failure to pstrdup when needed.  Allow INCLUDING INDEXES
indexes to be merged with identical declared indexes (perhaps not real useful,
but the code is there and having it not apply to LIKE indexes seems pretty
unorthogonal).  Avoid useless work in generateClonedIndexStmt().  Undo some
poorly chosen API changes, and put a couple of routines in modules that seem
to be better places for them.

6e73b50449 Workaround for perl problem where evaluating UTF8 regexes can cause
implicit loading of modules, thereby breaking Safe rules.
We compile and call a tiny perl function on trusted interpreter init, after which
the problem does not occur.

895a94de6d Avoid incrementing the CommandCounter when CommandCounterIncrement is called
but no database changes have been made since the last CommandCounterIncrement.
This should result in a significant improvement in the number of "commands"
that can typically be performed within a transaction before hitting the 2^32
CommandId size limit.  In particular this buys back (and more) the possible
adverse consequences of my previous patch to fix plan caching behavior.

The implementation requires tracking whether the current CommandCounter
value has been "used" to mark any tuples.  CommandCounter values stored into
snapshots are presumed not to be used for this purpose.  This requires some
small executor changes, since the executor used to conflate the curcid of
the snapshot it was using with the command ID to mark output tuples with.
Separating these concepts allows some small simplifications in executor APIs.

Something for the TODO list: look into having CommandCounterIncrement not do
AcceptInvalidationMessages.  It seems fairly bogus to be doing it there,
but exactly where to do it instead isn't clear, and I'm disinclined to mess
with asynchronous behavior during late beta.

f0f18c7087 Repair bug that allowed RevalidateCachedPlan to attempt to rebuild a cached
plan before the effects of DDL executed in an immediately prior SPI operation
had been absorbed.  Per report from Chris Wood.

This patch has an unpleasant side effect of causing the number of
CommandCounterIncrement()s done by a typical plpgsql function to
approximately double.  Amelioration of the consequences of that
will be undertaken in a separate patch.

03ffc4d6d5 Improve test coverage of CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS by having it also force
reloading of operator class information on each use of LookupOpclassInfo.
Had this been in place a year ago, it would have helped me find a bug
in the then-new 'operator family' code.  Now that we have a build farm
member testing CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS on a regular basis, it seems worth
expending a little bit of effort here.

11fccbeaeb Adjust the names of a couple of tsearch index support functions that had
inappropriately generic-sounding names.  This is more or less free since
we already forced initdb for the next beta, and it may prevent confusion or
name conflicts (particularly at the C-global-symbol level) down the road.
Per my proposal yesterday.

d54ca56743 Install a lookaside cache to speed up repeated lookups of the same operator
by short-circuiting schema search path and ambiguous-operator resolution
computations.  Remarkably, this buys as much as 45% speedup of repetitive
simple queries that involve operators that are not an exact match to the
input datatypes.  It should be marginally faster even for exact-match
cases, though I've not had success in proving an improvement in benchmark
tests.  Per report from Guillame Smet and subsequent discussion.

a54d3fb2e6 Fix plpgsql to not lookup block labels except in contexts where a block label
is sane (eg, EXIT argument or first part of a qualified identifier), and cause
more-closely-nested record variables to take precedence over outer block
labels.  This cures the breakage exhibited by Marko Kreen that 8.3 no longer
allowed a function's name to be used for a variable within the function, and
makes plpgsql's handling of block labels more like Oracle's.  It's important
to fix this now because we are documenting the use of block labels as variable
qualifiers for the first time in 8.3.
