c2903fb3d2 Update documentation to reflect that standard PLs are now extensions.
Recommend use of CREATE EXTENSION rather than plain CREATE LANGUAGE
where relevant.  Encourage PL authors to provide extension wrappers
for their PLs.

63b656b7bf Create extension infrastructure for the core procedural languages.
This mostly just involves creating control, install, and
update-from-unpackaged scripts for them.  However, I had to adjust plperl
and plpython to not share the same support functions between variants,
because we can't put the same function into multiple extensions.

catversion bump forced due to new contents of pg_pltemplate, and because
initdb now installs plpgsql as an extension not a bare language.

Add support for regression testing these as extensions not bare
languages.

Fix a couple of other issues that popped up while testing this: my initial
hack at pg_dump binary-upgrade support didn't work right, and we don't want
an extra schema permissions test after all.

Documentation changes still to come, but I'm committing now to see
whether the MSVC build scripts need work (likely they do).

efa415da8c Refactor seclabel.c to use the new check_object_ownership function.
This avoids duplicate (and not-quite-matching) code, and makes the logic
for SECURITY LABEL match COMMENT and ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP.

b9cff97fdf Don't allow CREATE TABLE AS to create a column with invalid collation
It is possible that an expression ends up with a collatable type but
without a collation.  CREATE TABLE AS could then create a table based
on that.  But such a column cannot be dumped with valid SQL syntax, so
we disallow creating such a column.

8d3b421f5f Allow non-superusers to create (some) extensions.
Remove the unconditional superuser permissions check in CREATE EXTENSION,
and instead define a "superuser" extension property, which when false
(not the default) skips the superuser permissions check.  In this case
the calling user only needs enough permissions to execute the commands
in the extension's installation script.  The superuser property is also
enforced in the same way for ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE cases.

In other ALTER EXTENSION cases and DROP EXTENSION, test ownership of
the extension rather than superuserness.  ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP needs
to insist on ownership of the target object as well; to do that without
duplicating code, refactor comment.c's big switch for permissions checks
into a separate function in objectaddress.c.

I also removed the superuserness checks in pg_available_extensions and
related functions; there's no strong reason why everybody shouldn't
be able to see that info.

Also invent an IF NOT EXISTS variant of CREATE EXTENSION, and use that
in pg_dump, so that dumps won't fail for installed-by-default extensions.
We don't have any of those yet, but we will soon.

This is all per discussion of wrapping the standard procedural languages
into extensions.  I'll make those changes in a separate commit; this is
just putting the core infrastructure in place.

4442e1975d When creating a collation, check that the locales can be loaded
This is the same check that would happen later when the collation is
used, but it's friendlier to check the collation already when it is
created.

bd58d9d883 In initialize_SSL, don't fail unnecessarily when home dir is unavailable.
Instead, just act as though the certificate file(s) are not present.
There is only one case where this need be a hard failure condition: when
sslmode is verify-ca or verify-full, not having a root cert file is an
error.  Change the logic so that we complain only in that case, and
otherwise fall through cleanly.  This is how it used to behave pre-9.0,
but my patch 4ed4b6c54e of 2010-05-26 broke
the case.  Per report from Christian Kastner.

908ab80286 Further refine patch for commenting operator implementation functions.
Instead of manually maintaining the "implementation of XXX operator"
comments in pg_proc.h, delete all those entries and let initdb create
them via a join.  To let initdb figure out which name to use when there
is a conflict, change the comments for deprecated operators to say they
are deprecated --- which seems like a good thing to do anyway.

6252c4f9e2 Run a portal's cleanup hook immediately when pushing it to DONE state.
This works around the problem noted by Yamamoto Takashi in bug #5906,
that there were code paths whereby we could reach AtCleanup_Portals
with a portal's cleanup hook still unexecuted.  The changes I made
a few days ago were intended to prevent that from happening, and
I think that on balance it's still a good thing to avoid, so I don't
want to remove the Assert in AtCleanup_Portals.  Hence do this instead.

94133a9354 Mark operator implementation functions as such in their comments.
Historically, we've not had separate comments for built-in pg_operator
entries, but relied on the comments for the underlying functions.  The
trouble with this approach is that there isn't much of anything to suggest
to users that they'd be better off using the operators instead.  So, move
all the relevant comments into pg_operator, and give each underlying
function a comment that just says "implementation of XXX operator".
There are only about half a dozen cases where it seems reasonable to use
the underlying function interchangeably with the operator; in these cases
I left the same comment in place on the function as on the operator.

While at it, establish a policy that every built-in function and operator
entry should have a comment: there are now queries in the opr_sanity
regression test that will complain if one doesn't.  This only required
adding a dozen or two more entries than would have been there anyway.

I also spent some time trying to eliminate gratuitous inconsistencies in
the style of the comments, though it's hopeless to suppose that more won't
creep in soon enough.

Per my proposal of 2010-10-15.

6eba5a7c57 Change pg_last_xlog_receive_location() not to move backwards. That makes
it a lot more useful for determining which standby is most up-to-date,
for example. There was long discussions on whether overwriting existing
existing WAL makes sense to begin with, and whether we should do some more
extensive variable renaming, but this change nevertheless seems quite
uncontroversial.

47ad79122b Fix bugs in Serializable Snapshot Isolation.
Change the way UPDATEs are handled. Instead of maintaining a chain of
tuple-level locks in shared memory, copy any existing locks on the old
tuple to the new tuple at UPDATE. Any existing page-level lock needs to
be duplicated too, as a lock on the new tuple. That was neglected
previously.

Store xmin on tuple-level predicate locks, to distinguish a lock on an old
already-recycled tuple from a new tuple at the same physical location.
Failure to distinguish them caused loops in the tuple-lock chains, as
reported by YAMAMOTO Takashi. Although we don't use the chain representation
of UPDATEs anymore, it seems like a good idea to store the xmin to avoid
some false positives if no other reason.

CheckSingleTargetForConflictsIn now correctly handles the case where a lock
that's being held is not reflected in the local lock table. That happens
if another backend acquires a lock on our behalf due to an UPDATE or a page
split.

PredicateLockPageCombine now retains locks for the page that is being
removed, rather than removing them. This prevents a potentially dangerous
false-positive inconsistency where the local lock table believes that a lock
is held, but it is actually not.

97c4ee94ad Include the target table in EXPLAIN output for ModifyTable nodes.
Per discussion, this seems important for plans involving writable CTEs,
since there can now be more than one ModifyTable node in the plan.

To retain the same formatting as for target tables of scan nodes, we
show only one target table, which will be the parent table in case of
an UPDATE or DELETE on an inheritance tree.  Individual child tables
can be determined by inspecting the child plan trees if needed.

c0b0076036 Rearrange snapshot handling to make rule expansion more consistent.
With this patch, portals, SQL functions, and SPI all agree that there
should be only a CommandCounterIncrement between the queries that are
generated from a single SQL command by rule expansion.  Fetching a whole
new snapshot now happens only between original queries.  This is equivalent
to the existing behavior of EXPLAIN ANALYZE, and it was judged to be the
best choice since it eliminates one source of concurrency hazards for
rules.  The patch should also make things marginally faster by reducing the
number of snapshot push/pop operations.

The patch removes pg_parse_and_rewrite(), which is no longer used anywhere.
There was considerable discussion about more aggressive refactoring of the
query-processing functions exported by postgres.c, but for the moment
nothing more has been done there.

I also took the opportunity to refactor snapmgr.c's API slightly: the
former PushUpdatedSnapshot() has been split into two functions.

a874fe7b4c Refactor the executor's API to support data-modifying CTEs better.
The originally committed patch for modifying CTEs didn't interact well
with EXPLAIN, as noted by myself, and also had corner-case problems with
triggers, as noted by Dean Rasheed.  Those problems show it is really not
practical for ExecutorEnd to call any user-defined code; so split the
cleanup duties out into a new function ExecutorFinish, which must be called
between the last ExecutorRun call and ExecutorEnd.  Some Asserts have been
added to these functions to help verify correct usage.

It is no longer necessary for callers of the executor to call
AfterTriggerBeginQuery/AfterTriggerEndQuery for themselves, as this is now
done by ExecutorStart/ExecutorFinish respectively.  If you really need to
suppress that and do it for yourself, pass EXEC_FLAG_SKIP_TRIGGERS to
ExecutorStart.

Also, refactor portal commit processing to allow for the possibility that
PortalDrop will invoke user-defined code.  I think this is not actually
necessary just yet, since the portal-execution-strategy logic forces any
non-pure-SELECT query to be run to completion before we will consider
committing.  But it seems like good future-proofing.
