Since PG 8.2, @ and ~ have been deprecated aliases for the containment
operators @> and <@. It seems like enough time has passed to actually
remove them, so do so.
This completes the project begun in commit 2f70fdb06. Note that in
the core types, the relation to the preferred operator names was
reversed from what it is in these contrib modules. The confusion
that induced was a large part of the reason for deprecation.

This allows these modules to be installed into a database without
superuser privileges (assuming that the DBA or sysadmin has installed
the module's files in the expected place). You only need CREATE
privilege on the current database, which by default would be
available to the database owner.
The following modules are marked trusted:
btree_gin
btree_gist
citext
cube
dict_int
earthdistance
fuzzystrmatch
hstore
hstore_plperl
intarray
isn
jsonb_plperl
lo
ltree
pg_trgm
pgcrypto
seg
tablefunc
tcn
tsm_system_rows
tsm_system_time
unaccent
uuid-ossp
In the future we might mark some more modules trusted, but there
seems to be no debate about these, and on the whole it seems wise
to be conservative with use of this feature to start out with.

To do this, we only have to remove the compress and decompress support
functions, which have never done anything more than detoasting.
In the wake of commit d3a4f89d8, this results in automatically enabling
index-only scans, since the core code will now know that the stored
representation is the same as the original data (up to detoasting).
The only exciting part of this is that ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY lacks
a way to drop a support function that was declared as being part of
an opclass rather than being loose in the family. For the moment,
we'll hack our way to a solution with a manual update of the pg_depend
entry type, which is what distinguishes the two cases. Perhaps
someday it'll be worth providing a cleaner way to do that, but for
now it seems like a very niche problem.
Note that the underlying C functions remain, to support use of the shared
libraries with older versions of the modules' SQL declarations. Someday
we may be able to remove them, but not soon.

In commits 9ff60273e3 and dbe2328959 I (tgl) fixed the
signatures of a bunch of contrib's GIN and GIST support functions so that
they would pass validation by the recently-added amvalidate functions.
The backend does not actually consult or check those signatures otherwise,
so I figured this was basically cosmetic and did not require an extension
version bump. However, Alexander Korotkov pointed out that that would
leave us in a pretty messy situation if we ever wanted to redefine those
functions later, because there wouldn't be a unique way to name them.
Since we're going to be bumping these extensions' versions anyway for
parallel-query cleanups, let's take care of this now.

This isn't fully tested as yet, in particular I'm not sure that the
"foo--unpackaged--1.0.sql" scripts are OK. But it's time to get some
buildfarm cycles on it.
sepgsql is not converted to an extension, mainly because it seems to
require a very nonstandard installation process.
