0423de4d30 Make the pg_stat_activity view call a SRF (pg_stat_get_activity())
instead of calling a bunch of individual functions.

This function can also be called directly, taking a PID as an argument, to
return only the data for a single PID.

cf9f6c8d8e Extend yesterday's patch making BLCKSZ and RELSEG_SIZE configurable to also
let XLOG_BLCKSZ and XLOG_SEG_SIZE be set via configure.  Per a proposal by
Mark Wong, though I thought it better to call the switches after "wal" rather
than "xlog".

3c6248a828 Remove the recently added USE_SEGMENTED_FILES option, and indeed remove all
support for a nonsegmented mode from md.c.  Per recent discussions, there
doesn't seem to be much value in a "never segment" option as opposed to
segmenting with a suitably large segment size.  So instead provide a
configure-time switch to set the desired segment size in units of gigabytes.
While at it, expose a configure switch for BLCKSZ as well.

1b1e335b15 Make the minimum allowed value of work_mem be 64KB always, rather than having
it vary with BLCKSZ as before.  This agrees with what the documentation says,
and avoids a regression test problem when BLCKSZ is larger than default.
Per recent discussion.

c979a1fefa Prevent shutdown in normal mode if online backup is running, and
have pg_ctl warn about this.

Cancel running online backups (by renaming the backup_label file,
thus rendering the backup useless) when shutting down in fast mode.

8472bf7a73 Allow float8, int8, and related datatypes to be passed by value on machines
where Datum is 8 bytes wide.  Since this will break old-style C functions
(those still using version 0 calling convention) that have arguments or
results of these types, provide a configure option to disable it and retain
the old pass-by-reference behavior.  Likewise, provide a configure option
to disable the recently-committed float4 pass-by-value change.

Zoltan Boszormenyi, plus configurability stuff by me.

87a2f050a9 Cause EXPLAIN's VERBOSE option to print the target list (output column list)
of each plan node, instead of its former behavior of dumping the internal
representation of the plan tree.  The latter display is still available for
those who really want it (see debug_print_plan), but uses for it are certainly
few and and far between.  Per discussion.

This patch also removes the explain_pretty_print GUC, which is obsoleted
by the change.
