d287818eb5 Adjust pgstatindex() to give correct answers for indexes larger than
2^31 blocks.  Also fix pg_relpages() for the same case.

6b0706ac33 Arrange for an explicit cast applied to an ARRAY[] constructor to be applied
directly to all the member expressions, instead of the previous implementation
where the ARRAY[] constructor would infer a common element type and then we'd
coerce the finished array after the fact.  This has a number of benefits,
one being that we can allow an empty ARRAY[] construct so long as its
element type is specified by such a cast.

Brendan Jurd, minor fixes by me.

68528d37bb Support a --no-tablespaces option in pg_dump/pg_dumpall/pg_restore, so that
dumps can be loaded into databases without the same tablespaces that the
source had.  The option acts by suppressing all "SET default_tablespace"
commands, and also CREATE TABLESPACE commands in pg_dumpall's case.

Gavin Roy, with documentation and minor fixes by me.

2f2b58d642 Spit items:
* Experiment with multi-threaded backend better I/O utilization

  This would allow a single query to make use of multiple I/O channels
  simultaneously.  One idea is to create a background reader that can
  pre-fetch sequential and index scan pages needed by other backends.
  This could be expanded to allow concurrent reads from multiple devices
  in a partitioned table.

* Experiment with multi-threaded backend better CPU utilization

  This would allow several CPUs to be used for a single query, such as
  for sorting or query execution.

* Speed WAL recovery by allowing more than one page to be prefetched

  This should be done utilizing the same infrastructure used for
  prefetching in general to avoid introducing complex error-prone code

8c87cc370f Catch all errors in for and while loops in makefiles. Don't ignore any
errors in any commands, including in various clean targets that have so far
been handled inconsistently.  make -i is available to ignore all errors in

033eb1581b Fix LISTEN/NOTIFY race condition reported by Laurent Birtz, by postponing
pg_listener modifications commanded by LISTEN and UNLISTEN until the end
of the current transaction.  This allows us to hold the ExclusiveLock on
pg_listener until after commit, with no greater risk of deadlock than there
was before.  Aside from fixing the race condition, this gets rid of a
truly ugly kludge that was there before, namely having to ignore
HeapTupleBeingUpdated failures during NOTIFY.  There is a small potential
incompatibility, which is that if a transaction issues LISTEN or UNLISTEN
and then looks into pg_listener before committing, it won't see any resulting
row insertion or deletion, where before it would have.  It seems unlikely
that anyone would be depending on that, though.

This patch also disallows LISTEN and UNLISTEN inside a prepared transaction.
That case had some pretty undesirable properties already, such as possibly
allowing pg_listener entries to be made for PIDs no longer present, so
disallowing it seems like a better idea than trying to maintain the behavior.
