e649796f12 Implement outer-level aggregates to conform to the SQL spec, with
extensions to support our historical behavior.  An aggregate belongs
to the closest query level of any of the variables in its argument,
or the current query level if there are no variables (e.g., COUNT(*)).
The implementation involves adding an agglevelsup field to Aggref,
and treating outer aggregates like outer variables at planning time.

9fbd52808e Adopt latest bison's spelling of 'syntax error' rather than 'parse error'
for grammar-detected problems.  Revert Makefile hack that kept it looking
like the pre-bison-1.875 output.

fc8d970cbc Replace functional-index facility with expressional indexes. Any column
of an index can now be a computed expression instead of a simple variable.
Restrictions on expressions are the same as for predicates (only immutable
functions, no sub-selects).  This fixes problems recently introduced with
inlining SQL functions, because the inlining transformation is applied to
both expression trees so the planner can still match them up.  Along the
way, improve efficiency of handling index predicates (both predicates and
index expressions are now cached by the relcache) and fix 7.3 oversight
that didn't record dependencies of predicate expressions.

f45df8c014 Cause CHAR(n) to TEXT or VARCHAR conversion to automatically strip trailing
blanks, in hopes of reducing the surprise factor for newbies.  Remove
redundant operators for VARCHAR (it depends wholly on TEXT operations now).
Clean up resolution of ambiguous operators/functions to avoid surprising
choices for domains: domains are treated as equivalent to their base types
and binary-coercibility is no longer considered a preference item when
choosing among multiple operators/functions.  IsBinaryCoercible now correctly
reflects the notion that you need *only* relabel the type to get from type
A to type B: that is, a domain is binary-coercible to its base type, but
not vice versa.  Various marginal cleanup, including merging the essentially
duplicate resolution code in parse_func.c and parse_oper.c.  Improve opr_sanity
regression test to understand about binary compatibility (using pg_cast),
and fix a couple of small errors in the catalogs revealed thereby.
Restructure "special operator" handling to fetch operators via index opclasses
rather than hardwiring assumptions about names (cleans up the pattern_ops
stuff a little).

        disable GUC unix_socket_group on Win32
        convert some keywords.c symbols to KEYWORD_P to prevent conflict

        create new /include/port.h file that has /port prototypes, move
          out of c.h
        new /include/port/win32_include dir to hold missing include files
