Apply a simple solution to the problem of making INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE
...
RETURNING play nice with views/rules. To wit, have the rule rewriter
rewrite any RETURNING clause found in a rule to produce what the rule's
triggering query asked for in its RETURNING clause, in particular drop
the RETURNING clause if no RETURNING in the triggering query. This
leaves the responsibility for knowing how to produce the view's output
columns on the rule author, without requiring any fundamental changes
in rule semantics such as adding new rule event types would do. The
initial implementation constrains things to ensure that there is
exactly one, unconditionally invoked RETURNING clause among the rules
for an event --- later we might be able to relax that, but for a post
feature freeze fix it seems better to minimize how much invention we do.
Per gripe from Jaime Casanova.

Removes or minimizes some documentation mentions of backward

compatibility for release 7.2 and earlier. I have not altered any
mentions of release 7.3 or later. The release notes were not modified,

Fix rewrite code so that rules are in fact executed in order by name,
...
rather than being reordered according to INSTEAD attribute for
implementation convenience.
Also, increase compiled-in recursion depth limit from 10 to 100 rewrite
cycles. 10 seems pretty marginal for situations where multiple rules
exist for the same query. There was a complaint about this recently,
so I'm going to bump it up. (Perhaps we should make the limit a GUC
parameter, but that's too close to being a new feature to do in beta.)
