1d2e0e6d3e Merge some user-submitted suggestions for improvement into the
documentation. Mostly add some <xref>s, fix a few typos, and
document that zlib is required in the installation docs.

abd3f43b4c Fix syslog bug: if any messages are emitted to write_syslog before
the facility has been set, the facility gets set to LOCAL0 and cannot
be changed later.  This seems reasonably plausible to happen, particularly
at higher debug log levels, though I am not certain it explains Han Holl's
recent report.  Easiest fix is to teach the code how to change the value
on-the-fly, which is nicer anyway.  I made the settings PGC_SIGHUP to
conform with log_destination.

4aa0d70fb7 Pass a strdup'd ident string to openlog(), to ensure that reallocation
of GUC memory doesn't cause us to start emitting a bogus ident string.
Per report from Han Holl.  Also some trivial code cleanup in write_syslog.

a93bf4503f Allow times of 24:00:00 to match rounding behavior:
regression=# select '23:59:59.9'::time(0);
	   time
	----------
	 24:00:00
	(1 row)

	This is bad because:

	regression=# select '24:00:00'::time(0);
	ERROR:  date/time field value out of range: "24:00:00"

The last example now works.

8ac386226d The patch updates the documentation to reflect the fact that higher values
of client_min_messages (fatal + panic) are valid and also fixes a slight
issue with how psql tried to display error messages that aren't sent to
the client.

We often tell people to ignore errors in response to requests for things
like "drop if exists", but there's no good way to completely hide this
without upping client_min_messages past ERROR.  When running a file like

SET client_min_messages TO 'FATAL';

DROP TABLE doesntexist;

with "psql -f filename" you get an error prefix of
"psql:/home/username/filename:3" even though there is no error message to
prefix because it isn't sent to the client.

165565cd94 Some additional doc changes based around compression of page images in
WAL and the interaction of the new full_page_writes parameter with PITR.

The too-small WAL first sect1 has been merged with the one following
sect1 for clarity.

Some minor comments have been made in the WAL config section also.

Passes SGML make and proofread for typos.

1e9a6ba5e6 Don't try to remove duplicate OR-subclauses in create_bitmap_subplan and
make_restrictinfo_from_bitmapqual.  The likelihood of finding duplicates
seems much less than in the AND-subclause case, and the cost much higher,
because OR lists with hundreds or even thousands of subclauses are not
uncommon.  Per discussion with Ilia Kantor and andrew@supernews.

e952ae1268 Fix longstanding bug found by Atsushi Ogawa: _bt_check_unique would mark
the wrong buffer dirty when trying to kill a dead index entry that's on
a page after the one it started on.  No risk of data corruption, just
inefficiency, but still a bug.

07eeb9d109 Do all accesses to shared buffer headers through volatile-qualified
pointers, to ensure that compilers won't rearrange accesses to occur
while we're not holding the buffer header spinlock.  It's probably
not necessary to mark volatile in every single place in bufmgr.c,
but better safe than sorry.  Per trouble report from Kevin Grittner.
