Remove a bunch of antique information from the appendix in the docs
...
that discusses CVS. Remove the recommendation to use cvs 1.10. Remove
discussion of alleged CVSup binaries on postgresql.org, because they
have not existed for several years. Remove discussion of how to
build cvsup from source because the existing text is outdated, and
more accurate information is available from the CVSup homepage.

Do a round of copy-editing for the system catalog chapter. In particular,
...
consistently capitalize the content of the "Description" column but do
not include a terminating period, as is the convention elsewhere in the
docs. Also, remove the "References" column from catalog that do not
have any referencing columns, for the sake of brevity. Make various
other SGML and grammar fixes.

Fix recently-understood problems with handling of XID freezing, particularly
...
in PITR scenarios. We now WAL-log the replacement of old XIDs with
FrozenTransactionId, so that such replacement is guaranteed to propagate to
PITR slave databases. Also, rather than relying on hint-bit updates to be
preserved, pg_clog is not truncated until all instances of an XID are known to
have been replaced by FrozenTransactionId. Add new GUC variables and
pg_autovacuum columns to allow management of the freezing policy, so that
users can trade off the size of pg_clog against the amount of freezing work
done. Revise the already-existing code that forces autovacuum of tables
approaching the wraparound point to make it more bulletproof; also, revise the
autovacuum logic so that anti-wraparound vacuuming is done per-table rather
than per-database. initdb forced because of changes in pg_class, pg_database,
and pg_autovacuum catalogs. Heikki Linnakangas, Simon Riggs, and Tom Lane.

Correct documentation error: in 8.1 and 8.2, %p in archive and restore

relative paths in general. Noted by Bernd Helmle.
