* Improve speed with indexes

  For large table adjustments during VACUUM FULL, it is faster to cluster
  or reindex rather than update the index.  Also, index updates can bloat
  the index.

test=> \copy billing_data from ../BillingSamplePricerFile.csv with csv
	   header quote as '"' null as 'abc' null as '123'

288579ca71 Update TODO: 
o Allow COPY in CSV mode to control whether a quoted zero-length
          string is treated as NULL

          Currently this is always treated as a zero-length string,
          which generates an error when loading into an integer column

611b4393f2 Make TransactionIdIsInProgress check transam.c's single-item XID status cache 
before it goes groveling through the ProcArray.  In situations where the same
recently-committed transaction ID is checked repeatedly by tqual.c, this saves
a lot of shared-memory searches.  And it's cheap enough that it shouldn't
hurt noticeably when it doesn't help.
Concept and patch by Simon, some minor tweaking and comment-cleanup by Tom.

fe83a3fdbd Use -fwrapv in CFLAGS if we are using a version of gcc that accepts this flag. 
This prevents compiler optimizations that assume overflow won't occur, which
breaks numerous overflow tests that we need to have working.  It is known
that gcc 4.3 causes problems and possible that 4.1 does.  Per my proposal
of some time ago and a recent report from Kris Jurka.

Backpatch as far as 8.0, which is as far as the patch conveniently goes.
7.x was pretty short of overflow tests anyway, so it may not matter there,
even assuming that anyone cares whether 7.x builds on recent gcc.

f0828b2fc3 Provide a build-time option to store large relations as single files, rather 
than dividing them into 1GB segments as has been our longtime practice.  This
requires working support for large files in the operating system; at least for
the time being, it won't be the default.

52a8d4f8f7 Implement enum type for guc parameters, and convert a couple of existing 
variables to it. More need to be converted, but I wanted to get this in
before it conflicts with too much...

Other than just centralising the text-to-int conversion for parameters,
this allows the pg_settings view to contain a list of available options
and allows an error hint to show what values are allowed.
