to_timestamp():
- ID for day-of-week
- IDDD for day-of-year
This makes it possible to convert ISO week dates to and from text
fully represented in either week ('IYYY-IW-ID') or day-of-year
('IYYY-IDDD') format.
I have also added an 'isoyear' field for use with extract / date_part.

equality checks it applies, instead of a random dependence on whatever
operators might be named "=". The equality operators will now be selected
from the opfamily of the unique index that the FK constraint depends on to
enforce uniqueness of the referenced columns; therefore they are certain to be
consistent with that index's notion of equality. Among other things this
should fix the problem noted awhile back that pg_dump may fail for foreign-key
constraints on user-defined types when the required operators aren't in the
search path. This also means that the former warning condition about "foreign
key constraint will require costly sequential scans" is gone: if the
comparison condition isn't indexable then we'll reject the constraint
entirely. All per past discussions.
Along the way, make the RI triggers look into pg_constraint for their
information, instead of using pg_trigger.tgargs; and get rid of the always
error-prone fixed-size string buffers in ri_triggers.c in favor of building up
the RI queries in StringInfo buffers.
initdb forced due to columns added to pg_constraint and pg_trigger.
< * Merge xmin/xmax/cmin/cmax back into three header fields
<
< Before subtransactions, there used to be only three fields needed to
< store these four values. This was possible because only the current
< transaction looks at the cmin/cmax values. If the current transaction
< created and expired the row the fields stored where xmin (same as
< xmax), cmin, cmax, and if the transaction was expiring a row from a
< another transaction, the fields stored were xmin (cmin was not
< needed), xmax, and cmax. Such a system worked because a transaction
< could only see rows from another completed transaction. However,
< subtransactions can see rows from outer transactions, and once the
< subtransaction completes, the outer transaction continues, requiring
< the storage of all four fields. With subtransactions, an outer
< transaction can create a row, a subtransaction expire it, and when the
< subtransaction completes, the outer transaction still has to have
< proper visibility of the row's cmin, for example, for cursors.
<
< One possible solution is to create a phantom cid which represents a
< cmin/cmax pair and is stored in local memory. Another idea is to
< store both cmin and cmax only in local memory.
