Peter Eisentraut 5373bc2a08 Add background worker type
Add bgw_type field to background worker structure.  It is intended to be
set to the same value for all workers of the same type, so they can be
grouped in pg_stat_activity, for example.

The backend_type column in pg_stat_activity now shows bgw_type for a
background worker.  The ps listing also no longer calls out that a
process is a background worker but just show the bgw_type.  That way,
being a background worker is more of an implementation detail now that
is not shown to the user.  However, most log messages still refer to
'background worker "%s"'; otherwise constructing sensible and
translatable log messages would become tricky.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------

This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree.  This does not preclude their
usefulness.

User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.

When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target.  You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.

Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types.  To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command.  In a fresh database,
you can simply do

    CREATE EXTENSION module_name;

See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
