Add code to prevent transaction ID wraparound by enforcing a safe limit
...
in GetNewTransactionId(). Since the limit value has to be computed
before we run any real transactions, this requires adding code to database
startup to scan pg_database and determine the oldest datfrozenxid.
This can conveniently be combined with the first stage of an attack on
the problem that the 'flat file' copies of pg_shadow and pg_group are
not properly updated during WAL recovery. The code I've added to
startup resides in a new file src/backend/utils/init/flatfiles.c, and
it is responsible for rewriting the flat files as well as initializing
the XID wraparound limit value. This will eventually allow us to get
rid of GetRawDatabaseInfo too, but we'll need an initdb so we can add
a trigger to pg_database.

< * Allow building with directories containing spaces
> * Allow building in directories containing spaces
< There are two capabilities here, first the ability to build from a
< source directory that contains spaces, and second the ability to install
< into a directory that contains spaces. The first is probably not
< possible because 'gmake' and other compiler tools do not fully support
< spaces in path names. The second is possible with proper quoting in
< the makefiles. Because PostgreSQL supports relocatable installs, it
< is possible to install into a directory that doesn't contain spaces and
< then copy the install to a directory with spaces.
> This is probably not possible because 'gmake' and other compiler tools

>
> * Allow installing to directories containing spaces

> This is possible if proper quoting is added to the makefiles for the
