ignore SIGPIPE from send() in libpq, but terminate on any other SIGPIPE,
unless the user installs their own signal handler.
This is a minor fix because the only time you get SIGPIPE from libpq's
send() is when the backend dies.
predicate tester. It can now deal with commuted clauses (for
instance, 4 < x implies x > 3), subclauses more complicated than
a simple Var (for example, upper(x) = 't' implies upper(x) > 'a'),
and <> operators (for example, x < 3 implies x <> 4). Still
only understands operators associated with btree opclasses, though.
Inspired by example from Martin Hampl.

For future reference, casting NULL to a pointer type is only necessary
when (a) invoking a function AND either (b) the function has no prototype
OR (c) the function is a varargs function.
parameters to be declared with names. pg_proc has a column to store
names, and CREATE FUNCTION can insert data into it, but that's all as
yet. I need to do more work on the pg_dump and plpgsql portions of the
patch before committing those, but I thought I'd get the bulky changes
in before the tree drifts under me.

- Update comment in IsReservedName() to the present day
- Improve some variable & function names in commands/vacuum.c. I
was planning to rewrite this to avoid lappend(), but since I
still intend to do the list rewrite, there's no need for that.
- Update some smgr comments which seemed to imply that we still
forced all dirty pages to disk at commit-time.
- Replace some #ifdef DIAGNOSTIC code with assertions.
- Make the distinction between OS-level file descriptors and
virtual file descriptors a little clearer in a few comments
- Other minor comment improvements in the smgr code
regular qpqual ('filter condition'), add special-purpose code to
nodeIndexscan.c to recheck them. This ends being almost no net addition
of code, because the removal of planner code balances out the extra
executor code, but it is significantly more efficient when a lossy
operator is involved in an OR indexscan. The old implementation had
to recheck the entire indexqual in such cases.
with index qual clauses in the Path representation. This saves a little
work during createplan and (probably more importantly) allows reuse of
cached selectivity estimates during indexscan planning. Also fix latent
bug: wrong plan would have been generated for a 'special operator' used
in a nestloop-inner-indexscan join qual, because the special operator
would not have gotten into the list of quals to recheck. This bug is
only latent because at present the special-operator code could never
trigger on a join qual, but sooner or later someone will want to do it.
