adf57cd7e2 PostgreSQL extension makefile framework ("pgxs"), by Fabien Coelho, with
some massaging by Peter Eisentraut.  This is basically a simple
generalization of the existing contrib makefiles.

98c120a203 Revert ill-conceived patch that made elog(FATAL) the same as elog(ERROR)
followed by seeing EOF from client.  If we want a safe session-kill
capability we will need to write one, not break our error handling
mechanism.

1bf3d61504 Fix subtransaction behavior for large objects, temp namespace, files,
password/group files.  Also allow read-only subtransactions of a read-write
parent, but not vice versa.  These are the reasonably noncontroversial
parts of Alvaro's recent mop-up patch, plus further work on large objects
to minimize use of the TopTransactionResourceOwner.

cc813fc2b8 Replace nested-BEGIN syntax for subtransactions with spec-compliant
SAVEPOINT/RELEASE/ROLLBACK-TO syntax.  (Alvaro)
Cause COMMIT of a failed transaction to report ROLLBACK instead of
COMMIT in its command tag.  (Tom)
Fix a few loose ends in the nested-transactions stuff.

0177f43070 Fix oversight: in case where SIGTERM is received while there are
live backends, the archiver and stats processes never got sent a
kill signal.  They'd eventually exit on their own, but not for awhile,
which is a bit annoying when you are trying to replace the executable
file on a platform that doesn't allow removal of busy executables.
Also, tweak main loop logic so that we will perform the background
tasks after select() returns EINTR.

5b2f4afffe Here is a patch that fixes the pipes used in find_other_exec() when
running as a service on windows <= 2000. Required to make the pg_ctl
service wrapper to work at all.

acd907bfcc Add cross-check that current timeline of pg_control is an ancestor of
recovery_target_timeline --- otherwise there is no path from the backup
to the requested timeline.  This check was foreseen in the original
discussion but I forgot to implement it.

3dba9cb694 Add a check on file size as an additional safety check that a WAL file
recovered from archive is not corrupt.  It's not much but it will catch
one common problem, viz out-of-disk-space.
Also, force a WAL recovery scan when recovery.conf is present, even if
pg_control shows a clean shutdown.  This allows recovery with a tar backup
that was taken with the postmaster shut down, as per complaint from
Mark Kirkwood.

e31c8cf20b Still another try at automatically detecting the best match in the zic
timezone database for the system behavior we find ourselves in.  Scan
backwards from current time and choose the zone that matches furthest
back.  As per discussion a week or so back.

2042b3428d Invent WAL timelines, as per recent discussion, to make point-in-time
recovery more manageable.  Also, undo recent change to add FILE_HEADER
and WASTED_SPACE records to XLOG; instead make the XLOG page header
variable-size with extra fields in the first page of an XLOG file.
This should fix the boundary-case bugs observed by Mark Kirkwood.
initdb forced due to change of XLOG representation.
