Merge postmaster and postgres command into just postgres. postmaster
...
symlink is kept for now for compatibility. To call single-user mode, use
postgres --single.

Removes or minimizes some documentation mentions of backward
...
compatibility for release 7.2 and earlier. I have not altered any
mentions of release 7.3 or later. The release notes were not modified,
so the changes are still documented, just not in the main docs.

Clean up autovacuum documentation, which was a bit out of sync with what
...
the code actually does, and needed copy-editing anyway. Also take the
opportunity to expand the section on routine reindexing.

Make REINDEX DATABASE do what one would expect, namely reindex all indexes
...
in the database. The old behavior (reindex system catalogs only) is now
available as REINDEX SYSTEM. I did not add the complementary REINDEX USER
case since there did not seem to be consensus for this, but it would be
trivial to add later. Per recent discussions.

Add code to prevent transaction ID wraparound by enforcing a safe limit
...
in GetNewTransactionId(). Since the limit value has to be computed
before we run any real transactions, this requires adding code to database
startup to scan pg_database and determine the oldest datfrozenxid.
This can conveniently be combined with the first stage of an attack on
the problem that the 'flat file' copies of pg_shadow and pg_group are
not properly updated during WAL recovery. The code I've added to
startup resides in a new file src/backend/utils/init/flatfiles.c, and
it is responsible for rewriting the flat files as well as initializing
the XID wraparound limit value. This will eventually allow us to get
rid of GetRawDatabaseInfo too, but we'll need an initdb so we can add
a trigger to pg_database.

Create a built-in log rotation program, so that we no longer have to
...
recommend that people go get Apache's rotatelogs program. Additional
benefits are that configuration is done through GUC, rather than
externally, and that the postmaster can monitor the log rotator and
restart it after failure (though we certainly hope that won't happen
often).
Andreas Pflug, some rework by Tom Lane.
