f07b9689c9 Generalize TRUNCATE to support truncating multiple tables in one
command.  This is useful because we can allow truncation of tables
referenced by foreign keys, so long as the referencing table is
truncated in the same command.

aba691b728 Close all cursors created during a failed subtransaction. This is needed
to avoid problems when a cursor depends on objects created or changed in
the same subtransaction.  We'd like to do better someday, but this seems
the only workable answer for 8.0.1.

b60a8512a0 Update count(*) discussion ideas:
<   BY col {DESC} LIMIT 1. Completing this item involves making this

<   invalidated if anyone modifies the table.
