3e51c1553c Add the Brazilian time zone abbreviations BRT, BRST, FNT, FNST.
ACT and ACST were already present.  AMT and AMST conflict with the
existing entries for Armenia; no change there for the moment.

9c2a7c2269 Apply (a somewhat revised version of) Greg Mullane's patch to eliminate
heuristic determination of day vs month in date/time input.  Add the
ability to specify that input is interpreted as yy-mm-dd order (which
formerly worked, but only for yy greater than 31).  DateStyle's input
component now has the preferred spellings DMY, MDY, or YMD; the older
keywords European and US are now aliases for the first two of these.
Per recent discussions on pgsql-general.

dd0279b1ba Document the precision arguments for date/time types per SQL9x.
Update the list of recognized time zones.

577fd41c17 Remove ZP4, ZP5, ZP6 from docs since the current parser won't accept
time zones with embedded numerals (parsing to a meaninless "ZP 4"
 instead).
Support "SAT" as an Australian time zone if USE_AUSTRALIAN_RULES
 is defined.
Fix units in exposition on Julian calendar (from Lazer Henry I think...)
