60bd2b1941 Arrange to remove pg_default_acl entries completely if their ACL setting 
is changed to match the hard-wired default.  This avoids accumulating useless
catalog entries, and also provides a path for dropping the owning role without
using DROP OWNED BY.  Per yesterday's complaint from Jaime Casanova, the
need to use DROP OWNED BY for that is less than obvious, so providing this
alternative method might save some user frustration.

6dcce3985b Remove unnecessary xref endterm attributes and title ids 
The endterm attribute is mainly useful when the toolchain does not support
automatic link target text generation for a particular situation.  In  the
past, this was required by the man page tools for all reference page links,
but that is no longer the case, and it now actually gets in the way of
proper automatic link text generation.  The only remaining use cases are
currently xrefs to refsects.

991bfe11d2 Enhance documentation of the build-in standby mode, explaining the retry 
loop in standby mode, trying to restore from archive, pg_xlog and
streaming.

Move sections around to make the high availability chapter more
coherent: the most prominent part is now a "Log-Shipping Standby Servers"
section that describes what a standby server is (like the old
"Warm Standby Servers for High Availability" section), and how to
set up a warm standby server, including streaming replication, using the
built-in standby mode. The pg_standby method is desribed in another
section called "Alternative method for log shipping", with the added
caveat that it doesn't work with streaming replication.

without previous make docs.

in recovery_end_command, it always came out as 0 because InRedo was
cleared before recovery_end_command was executed. Also, always take
ControlFileLock when reading checkpoint location for %r.

The recovery_end_command bug and the missing locking was present in 8.4
as well, that part of this patch will be backported separately.

11b5847058 Add an OR REPLACE option to CREATE LANGUAGE. 
This operates in the same way as other CREATE OR REPLACE commands, ie,
it replaces everything but the ownership and ACL lists of an existing
entry, and requires the caller to have owner privileges for that entry.

While modifying an existing language has some use in development scenarios,
in typical usage all the "replaced" values come from pg_pltemplate so there
will be no actual change in the language definition.  The reason for adding
this is mainly to allow programs to ensure that a language exists without
triggering an error if it already does exist.

This commit just adds and documents the new option.  A followon patch
will use it to clean up some unpleasant cases in pg_dump and pg_regress.
