391c3811a2 Rename SortMem and VacuumMem to work_mem and maintenance_work_mem.
Make btree index creation and initial validation of foreign-key constraints
use maintenance_work_mem rather than work_mem as their memory limit.
Add some code to guc.c to allow these variables to be referenced by their
old names in SHOW and SET commands, for backwards compatibility.

9adaf64da3 Mop-up for HAS_TEST_AND_SET refactoring. Un-break two or three platforms
that were broken, try to make layout of s_lock.h entries consistent,
use HAVE_SPINLOCKS in preference to HAS_TEST_AND_SET everywhere outside
s_lock.h itself.

dd01cfe1c4 Remove possibility to specify an installation root after --with-krbx and
--with-openssl options.  This creates too much risk to pick up the wrong
directory accidentally (for example when there are lib64 directories), and
does not really help much with contemporary installation layouts.

b3d72d3ec5 Use --with-docdir to choose installation location of documentation; put
back --infodir, which several automatic build environments expect to exist.
Add --without-docdir to prevent installation of documentation, which is
helpful for things like RPM that have their own method of installing
documentation.

1d3a47af0c Attached patch for unconditional enabling of pltcl-unknown support.
Enabling this feature adds very light overhead of 1 select from pg_class on

But pl/tcl with this support has very improved functionality.

Patch includes changes to documentation.

264f8f2b6c Install dynamically loadable modules into a private subdirectory
under libdir, for a cleaner separation in the installation layout
and compatibility with binary packaging standards.  Point backend's
default search location there.  The contrib modules are also
installed in the said location, giving them the benefit of the
default search path as well.  No changes in user interface
nevertheless.
