5d1dd2bc55 Micro-optimization of markpos() and restrpos() in btree and hash indexes.
Rather than using ReadBuffer() to increment the reference count on an
already-pinned buffer, we should use IncrBufferRefCount() as it is
faster and does not require acquiring the BufMgrLock.

0021ae06be Fix Win32 problems with signals and sockets, by making the forkexec code
even uglier than it was already :-(.  Also, on Windows only, use temporary
shared memory segments instead of ordinary files to pass over critical
variable values from postmaster to child processes.  Magnus Hagander

e1bf6527f6 Prevent a backend crash when processing CREATE TABLE commands with
more than 65K columns, or when the created table has more than 65K columns
due to adding inherited columns from parent relations. Fix a similar
crash when processing SELECT queries with more than 65K target list
entries. In all three cases we would eventually detect the error and
elog, but the check was being made too late.

7efa8411cc Rethink plpgsql's way of handling SPI execution during an exception block.
We don't really want to start a new SPI connection, just keep using the old
one; otherwise we have memory management problems as illustrated by
John Kennedy's bug report of today.  This requires a bit of a hack to
ensure the SPI stack state is properly restored, but then again what we
were doing before was a hack too, strictly speaking.  Add a regression
test to cover this case.

ea23ec82c2 Remove GUC USERLIMIT variable category, making the affected variables
plain SUSET instead.  Also delay processing of options received in
client connection request until after we know if the user is a superuser,
so that SUSET values can be set that way by legitimate superusers.

a236dd9536 There is no need for ReadBuffer() call sites to check that the returned
buffer is valid, as ReadBuffer() will elog on error. Most of the call
sites of ReadBuffer() got this right, but this patch fixes those call
sites that did not.

1c5125adf3 Not entirely sure when this broke, but libpq's VC++ build is currently
lacking pqsignal which is now required. This was found and fixed for
VC++ by Shachar Shemesh, I simply duplicated the fix for the Borland
makefile (untested, as I don't have that compiler).
