Adjust parser so that POSTQUEL-style implicit RTEs are stored with

I have applied the following patch to document PQinitSSL() and
...
PQregisterThreadLock().
I also remove the crypt() mention in the libpq threading section and
added a single sentence in the client-auth manual page under crypt().
Crypt authentication is so old now that a separate paragraph about it
seemed unwise.
I also added a comment about our use of locking around pqGetpwuid().

Clean up some obsolete statements about GiST indexes, and add a section

Improve testlibpq3.c's example of PQexecParams() usage to include sending

a parameter in binary format. Also, add a TIP explaining how to use casts

example programs to 8 spaces instead of 4 when transposing them into SGML.

Fix syslog bug: if any messages are emitted to write_syslog before
...
the facility has been set, the facility gets set to LOCAL0 and cannot
be changed later. This seems reasonably plausible to happen, particularly
at higher debug log levels, though I am not certain it explains Han Holl's
recent report. Easiest fix is to teach the code how to change the value
on-the-fly, which is nicer anyway. I made the settings PGC_SIGHUP to
conform with log_destination.

Allow times of 24:00:00 to match rounding behavior:
...
regression=# select '23:59:59.9'::time(0);
time
----------

This is bad because:
regression=# select '24:00:00'::time(0);
ERROR: date/time field value out of range: "24:00:00"
The last example now works.
