Tom Lane eb67623c96 Mark some contrib modules as "trusted".
This allows these modules to be installed into a database without
superuser privileges (assuming that the DBA or sysadmin has installed
the module's files in the expected place).  You only need CREATE
privilege on the current database, which by default would be
available to the database owner.

The following modules are marked trusted:

btree_gin
btree_gist
citext
cube
dict_int
earthdistance
fuzzystrmatch
hstore
hstore_plperl
intarray
isn
jsonb_plperl
lo
ltree
pg_trgm
pgcrypto
seg
tablefunc
tcn
tsm_system_rows
tsm_system_time
unaccent
uuid-ossp

In the future we might mark some more modules trusted, but there
seems to be no debate about these, and on the whole it seems wise
to be conservative with use of this feature to start out with.

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.
