27a54ae282 Opclasses live in namespaces. I also took the opportunity to create
an 'opclass owner' column in pg_opclass.  Nothing is done with it at
present, but since there are plans to invent a CREATE OPERATOR CLASS
command soon, we'll probably want DROP OPERATOR CLASS too, which
suggests that a notion of ownership would be a good idea.

f933766ba7 Restructure pg_opclass, pg_amop, and pg_amproc per previous discussions in
pgsql-hackers.  pg_opclass now has a row for each opclass supported by each
index AM, not a row for each opclass name.  This allows pg_opclass to show
directly whether an AM supports an opclass, and furthermore makes it possible
to store additional information about an opclass that might be AM-dependent.
pg_opclass and pg_amop now store "lossy" and "haskeytype" information that we
previously expected the user to remember to provide in CREATE INDEX commands.
Lossiness is no longer an index-level property, but is associated with the
use of a particular operator in a particular index opclass.

Along the way, IndexSupportInitialize now uses the syscaches to retrieve
pg_amop and pg_amproc entries.  I find this reduces backend launch time by
about ten percent, at the cost of a couple more special cases in catcache.c's
IndexScanOK.

Initial work by Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, further hacking by Tom Lane.

initdb forced.

13923be7c8 1. null-safe interface to GiST
(as proposed in http://fts.postgresql.org/db/mw/msg.html?mid=1028327)

2. support for 'pass-by-value' arguments - to test this
   we used special opclass for int4 with values in range [0-2^15]
   More testing will be done after resolving problem with
   index_formtuple and implementation of B-tree using GiST

3. small patch to contrib modules (seg,cube,rtree_gist,intarray) -
   mark functions as 'isstrict' where needed.
