f42ddc4772 Clarify docs about database parameter in streaming replication primary_conninfo. 
Docs were unclear on whether or not database=replication was required,
nor did they mention the FATAL error this causes if database parameter is
mentioned explicitly, whatever its value.

c21ac0b58e Add restartpoint_command option to recovery.conf. Fix bug in %r handling 
in recovery_end_command, it always came out as 0 because InRedo was
cleared before recovery_end_command was executed. Also, always take
ControlFileLock when reading checkpoint location for %r.

The recovery_end_command bug and the missing locking was present in 8.4
as well, that part of this patch will be backported separately.

renegotiation.

11b5847058 Add an OR REPLACE option to CREATE LANGUAGE. 
This operates in the same way as other CREATE OR REPLACE commands, ie,
it replaces everything but the ownership and ACL lists of an existing
entry, and requires the caller to have owner privileges for that entry.

While modifying an existing language has some use in development scenarios,
in typical usage all the "replaced" values come from pg_pltemplate so there
will be no actual change in the language definition.  The reason for adding
this is mainly to allow programs to ensure that a language exists without
triggering an error if it already does exist.

This commit just adds and documents the new option.  A followon patch
will use it to clean up some unpleasant cases in pg_dump and pg_regress.

d1e027221d Replace the pg_listener-based LISTEN/NOTIFY mechanism with an in-memory queue. 
In addition, add support for a "payload" string to be passed along with
each notify event.

This implementation should be significantly more efficient than the old one,
and is also more compatible with Hot Standby usage.  There is not yet any
facility for HS slaves to receive notifications generated on the master,
although such a thing is possible in future.
