3980f7fc6e Implement getpeereid() as a src/port compatibility function.
This unifies a bunch of ugly #ifdef's in one place.  Per discussion,
we only need this where HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS, so no need to cover Windows.

be4585b1c2 Replace use of credential control messages with getsockopt(LOCAL_PEERCRED).
It turns out the reason we hadn't found out about the portability issues
with our credential-control-message code is that almost no modern platforms
use that code at all; the ones that used to need it now offer getpeereid(),
which we choose first.  The last holdout was NetBSD, and they added
getpeereid() as of 5.0.  So far as I can tell, the only live platform on
which that code was being exercised was Debian/kFreeBSD, ie, FreeBSD kernel
with Linux userland --- since glibc doesn't provide getpeereid(), we fell
back to the control message code.  However, the FreeBSD kernel provides a
LOCAL_PEERCRED socket parameter that's functionally equivalent to Linux's
SO_PEERCRED.  That is both much simpler to use than control messages, and
superior because it doesn't require receiving a message from the other end
at just the right time.

Therefore, add code to use LOCAL_PEERCRED when necessary, and rip out all
the credential-control-message code in the backend.  (libpq still has such
code so that it can still talk to pre-9.1 servers ... but eventually we can
get rid of it there too.)  Clean up related autoconf probes, too.

This means that libpq's requirepeer parameter now works on exactly the same
platforms where the backend supports peer authentication, so adjust the
documentation accordingly.

44404f3945 Adjust configure to use "+Olibmerrno" with HP-UX C compiler, if possible.
This is reported to be necessary on some versions of that OS.  In service
of this, cause PGAC_PROG_CC_CFLAGS_OPT to reject switches that result in
compiler warnings, since on yet other versions of that OS, the switch does
nothing except provoke a warning.

Report and patch by Ibrar Ahmed, further tweaking by me.

8ff1f6a78c Adjust configure's probe for libselinux so it rejects too-old versions.
We need at least version 2.0.93, so probe for a function that was added
in that version.

8dd2ede3f8 Improve compiler string shown in version()
With some compilers such as Clang and ICC emulating GCC, using a
version string of the form "GCC $version" can be quite misleading.
Also, a great while ago, the version output from gcc --version started
including the string "gcc", so it is redundant to repeat that.  In
order to support ancient GCC versions, we now prefix the result with
"GCC " only if the version output does not start with a letter.

2ab0796d7a Fix char2wchar/wchar2char to support collations properly.
These functions should take a pg_locale_t, not a collation OID, and should
call mbstowcs_l/wcstombs_l where available.  Where those functions are not
available, temporarily select the correct locale with uselocale().

This change removes the bogus assumption that all locales selectable in
a given database have the same wide-character conversion method; in
particular, the collate.linux.utf8 regression test now passes with
LC_CTYPE=C, so long as the database encoding is UTF8.

I decided to move the char2wchar/wchar2char functions out of mbutils.c and
into pg_locale.c, because they work on wchar_t not pg_wchar_t and thus
don't really belong with the mbutils.c functions.  Keeping them where they
were would have required importing pg_locale_t into pg_wchar.h somehow,
which did not seem like a good plan.

5cdd65f324 Fix up getopt() reset management so it works on recent mingw.

Also, ensure that we make use of optreset when using our own copy.

on Windows.

2746e5f21d Introduce latches. A latch is a boolean variable, with the capability to
wait until it is set. Latches can be used to reliably wait until a signal
arrives, which is hard otherwise because signals don't interrupt select()
on some platforms, and even when they do, there's race conditions.

On Unix, latches use the so called self-pipe trick under the covers to
implement the sleep until the latch is set, without race conditions. On
Windows, Windows events are used.

Use the new latch abstraction to sleep in walsender, so that as soon as
a transaction finishes, walsender is woken up to immediately send the WAL
to the standby. This reduces the latency between master and standby, which
is good.

Preliminary work by Fujii Masao. The latch implementation is by me, with
helpful comments from many people.

291a957745 Split the LDFLAGS make variable into two parts: LDFLAGS is now used for
linking both executables and shared libraries, and we add on LDFLAGS_EX when
linking executables or LDFLAGS_SL when linking shared libraries.  This
provides a significantly cleaner way of dealing with link-time switches than
the former behavior.  Also, make sure that the various platform-specific
%.so: %.o rules incorporate LDFLAGS and LDFLAGS_SL; most of them missed that
before.  (I did not add these variables for the platforms that invoke $(LD)
directly, however.  It's not clear if we can do that safely, since for the
most part we assume these variables use CC command-line syntax.)

Per gripe from Aaron Swenson and subsequent investigation.

e08ab7c312 Support inlining various small performance-critical functions on non-GCC
compilers, by applying a configure check to see if the compiler will accept
an unreferenced "static inline foo ..." function without warnings.  It is
believed that such warnings are the only reason not to declare inlined
functions in headers, if the compiler understands "inline" at all.

a6c75be23d Re-order configure tests to reflect the fact that the code generated for
posix_fadvise and other file-related functions can depend on _LARGEFILE_SOURCE
and/or _FILE_OFFSET_BITS.  Per report from Robert Treat.

Back-patch to 8.4.  This has been wrong all along, but we weren't really using
posix_fadvise in anger before, and AC_FUNC_FSEEKO seems to mask the issue well
enough for that function.

d15cb38dec Alter the configure script to fail immediately if the C compiler does not
provide a working 64-bit integer datatype.  As recently noted, we've been
broken on such platforms since early in the 8.4 development cycle.  Since
it took nearly two years for anyone to even notice, it seems that the
rationale for continuing to support such platforms has reached the point
of non-existence.  Rather than thrashing around to try to make it work
again, we'll just admit up front that this no longer works.

Back-patch to 8.4 since that branch is also broken.

We should go around to remove INT64_IS_BUSTED support, but just in HEAD,
so that seems like material for a separate commit.

e97281c46c Write psql's ~/.psql_history file using history_truncate_file() and
append_history(), if libreadline is new enough to have those functions
(they seem to be present at least since 4.2; but libedit may not have them).
This gives significantly saner behavior when two or more sessions overlap in
their use of the history file; although having two sessions exit at just the
same time is still perilous to your history.  The behavior of \s remains
unchanged, ie, overwrite whatever was there.

9d182ef002 Update of install-sh, mkinstalldirs, and associated configury
Update install-sh to that from Autoconf 2.63, plus our Darwin-specific
changes (which I simplified a bit).  install-sh is now able to install
multiple files in one run, so we could simplify our makefiles sometime.

install-sh also now has a -d option to create directories, so we don't need
mkinstalldirs anymore.

Use AC_PROG_MKDIR_P in configure.in, so we can use mkdir -p when available
instead of install-sh -d.  For consistency with the rest of the world,
the corresponding make variable has been renamed from $(mkinstalldirs) to
$(MKDIR_P).

for the entire rand48 family.)

erand48() is unused as of this commit, but a followon patch will cause
