5b9399f0a1 Update 9.0 release notes for changes since beta4.
Note: as usual, bug fixes that were also applied in back branches are not
considered material to include in a new major release's notes.

1be6be8f11 Make an editorial pass over the 9.0 release notes.
This is mostly about grammar, style, and presentation, though I did find
a few small factual errors.

f333f69d19 Bring some sanity to the trace_recovery_messages code and docs.
Per gripe from Fujii Masao, though this is not exactly his proposed patch.
Categorize as DEVELOPER_OPTIONS and set context PGC_SIGHUP, as per Fujii,
but set the default to LOG because higher values aren't really sensible
(see the code for trace_recovery()).  Fix the documentation to agree with
the code and to try to explain what the variable actually does.  Get rid
of no-op calls trace_recovery(LOG), which accomplish nothing except to
demonstrate that this option confuses even its author.

5eac6a9ac0 Fix incorrect errno definitions in ECPG manual.
ecpgerrno.h hasn't materially changed since PostgreSQL 7.4, so this has
been wrong for a very long time.  Back-patch all the way.

not consistent with what is done elsewhere in the docs.

bdd538c571 Remove the single-argument form of string_agg(). It added nothing much in
functionality, while creating an ambiguity in usage with ORDER BY that at
least two people have already gotten seriously confused by.  Also, add an
opr_sanity test to check that we don't in future violate the newly minted
policy of not having built-in aggregates with the same name and different
numbers of parameters.  Per discussion of a complaint from Thom Brown.

85084020be Fix indentation of verbatim block elements
Block elements with verbatim formatting (literallayout, programlisting,
screen, synopsis) should be aligned at column 0 independent of the surrounding
SGML, because whitespace is significant, and indenting them creates erratic
whitespace in the output.  The CSS stylesheets already take care of indenting
the output.

Assorted markup improvements to go along with it.

19600de638 Work around a documentation toolchain problem by replacing the "AIX-fixlevels"
table with a <variablelist> carrying the same information.  Previously the
9.0 documentation was failing to build as a US-size PDF file.  It's quite
obscure what the real problem is or why this avoids it, but we need a hack
now so we can build docs for beta4.

In passing do a bit of editing in the AIX installation docs, in particular
remove a long-obsolete claim that the regression tests are likely to fail.
