ba398969cd Update contrib/hstore for new GIN extractQuery API.
In particular, make hstore @> '' succeed for all hstores, likewise
hstore ?& '{}'.  Previously the results were inconsistent and could
depend on whether you were using a GiST index, GIN index, or seqscan.

73912e7fbd Fix GIN to support null keys, empty and null items, and full index scans.
Per my recent proposal(s).  Null key datums can now be returned by
extractValue and extractQuery functions, and will be stored in the index.
Also, placeholder entries are made for indexable items that are NULL or
contain no keys according to extractValue.  This means that the index is
now always complete, having at least one entry for every indexed heap TID,
and so we can get rid of the prohibition on full-index scans.  A full-index
scan is implemented much the same way as partial-match scans were already:
we build a bitmap representing all the TIDs found in the index, and then
drive the results off that.

Also, introduce a concept of a "search mode" that can be requested by
extractQuery when the operator requires matching to empty items (this is
just as cheap as matching to a single key) or requires a full index scan
(which is not so cheap, but it sure beats failing or giving wrong answers).
The behavior remains backward compatible for opclasses that don't return
any null keys or request a non-default search mode.

Using these features, we can now make the GIN index opclass for anyarray
behave in a way that matches the actual anyarray operators for &&, <@, @>,
and = ... which it failed to do before in assorted corner cases.

This commit fixes the core GIN code and ginarrayprocs.c, updates the
documentation, and adds some simple regression test cases for the new
behaviors using the array operators.  The tsearch and contrib GIN opclass
support functions still need to be looked over and probably fixed.

Another thing I intend to fix separately is that this is pretty inefficient
for cases where more than one scan condition needs a full-index search:
we'll run duplicate GinScanEntrys, each one of which builds a large bitmap.
There is some existing logic to merge duplicate GinScanEntrys but it needs
refactoring to make it work for entries belonging to different scan keys.

Note that most of gin.h has been split out into a new file gin_private.h,
so that gin.h doesn't export anything that's not supposed to be used by GIN
opclasses or the rest of the backend.  I did quite a bit of other code
beautification work as well, mostly fixing comments and choosing more
appropriate names for things.

172eacba43 Assorted improvements in contrib/hstore.
Remove the 64K limit on the lengths of keys and values within an hstore.
(This changes the on-disk format, but the old format can still be read.)
Add support for btree/hash opclasses for hstore --- this is not so much
for actual indexing purposes as to allow use of GROUP BY, DISTINCT, etc.
Add various other new functions and operators.

87b8db3774 Adjust the APIs for GIN opclass support functions to allow the extractQuery()
method to pass extra data to the consistent() and comparePartial() methods.
This is the core infrastructure needed to support the soon-to-appear
contrib/btree_gin module.  The APIs are still upward compatible with the
definitions used in 8.3 and before, although *not* with the previous 8.4devel
function definitions.

catversion bump for changes in pg_proc entries (although these are just
cosmetic, since GIN doesn't actually look at the function signature before
calling it...)

f8c4d7db60 Restructure some header files a bit, in particular heapam.h, by removing some
unnecessary #include lines in it.  Also, move some tuple routine prototypes and
macros to htup.h, which allows removal of heapam.h inclusion from some .c
files.

For this to work, a new header file access/sysattr.h needed to be created,
initially containing attribute numbers of system columns, for pg_dump usage.

While at it, make contrib ltree, intarray and hstore header files more
consistent with our header style.

9b5c8d45f6 Push index operator lossiness determination down to GIST/GIN opclass
"consistent" functions, and remove pg_amop.opreqcheck, as per recent
discussion.  The main immediate benefit of this is that we no longer need
8.3's ugly hack of requiring @@@ rather than @@ to test weight-using tsquery
searches on GIN indexes.  In future it should be possible to optimize some
other queries better than is done now, by detecting at runtime whether the
index match is exact or not.

Tom Lane, after an idea of Heikki's, and with some help from Teodor.

754148d81f Add GIN support for pg_trgm. From Guillaume Smet <guillaume.smet@gmail.com>
with minor editorization by me.

Hstore improvements
* add operation hstore ? text - excat equivalent of exist()
* remove undocumented behaviour of contains operation with NULL value
* now 'key'::text=>NULL returns '"key"=>NULL' instead of NULL
* Add GIN support for contains and exist operations
* Add GiST support for exist operatiion
* improve regression tests
