82a47982f3 Arrange for SET LOCAL's effects to persist until the end of the current top
transaction, unless rolled back or overridden by a SET clause for the same
variable attached to a surrounding function call.  Per discussion, these
seem the best semantics.  Note that this is an INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: in 8.0
through 8.2, SET LOCAL's effects disappeared at subtransaction commit
(leading to behavior that made little sense at the SQL level).

I took advantage of the opportunity to rewrite and simplify the GUC variable
save/restore logic a little bit.  The old idea of a "tentative" value is gone;
it was a hangover from before we had a stack.  Also, we no longer need a stack
entry for every nesting level, but only for those in which a variable's value
actually changed.

295e63983d Implement lazy XID allocation: transactions that do not modify any database
rows will normally never obtain an XID at all.  We already did things this way
for subtransactions, but this patch extends the concept to top-level
transactions.  In applications where there are lots of short read-only
transactions, this should improve performance noticeably; not so much from
removal of the actual XID-assignments, as from reduction of overhead that's
driven by the rate of XID consumption.  We add a concept of a "virtual
transaction ID" so that active transactions can be uniquely identified even
if they don't have a regular XID.  This is a much lighter-weight concept:
uniqueness of VXIDs is only guaranteed over the short term, and no on-disk
record is made about them.

e7889b83b7 Support SET FROM CURRENT in CREATE/ALTER FUNCTION, ALTER DATABASE, ALTER ROLE.
(Actually, it works as a plain statement too, but I didn't document that
because it seems a bit useless.)  Unify VariableResetStmt with
VariableSetStmt, and clean up some ancient cruft in the representation of
same.

2abae34a2e Implement function-local GUC parameter settings, as per recent discussion.
There are still some loose ends: I didn't do anything about the SET FROM
CURRENT idea yet, and it's not real clear whether we are happy with the
interaction of SET LOCAL with function-local settings.  The documentation
is a bit spartan, too.
