06e2757277 Remove SQL-compatibility function cardinality(). It is not exactly clear
how this ought to behave for multi-dimensional arrays.  Per discussion,
not having it at all seems better than having it with what might prove
to be the wrong behavior.  We can always add it later when we have consensus
on the correct behavior.

4703250a76 Remove psql's ancient hack that suppressed functions taking or returning
cstring from the output of \df.  Now that the default behavior is to
exclude all system functions, the de-cluttering rationale for this behavior
seems pretty weak; and it was always quite confusing/unhelpful if you were
actually looking for I/O functions.  (Not to mention if you were looking
for encoding converters or other cases that might take or return cstring.)

387060951e Add an optional parameter to pg_start_backup() that specifies whether to do
the checkpoint in immediate or lazy mode.  This is to address complaints
that pg_start_backup() takes a long time even when there's no need to minimize
its I/O consumption.

65e758a4d3 Remove contrib/intarray's definitions of the <@ and @> operators, so that they
don't cause confusion with the built-in anyarray versions of those operators.
Adjust the module's index opclasses to support the built-in operators in place
of the private ones.

The private implementations are still available under their historical
names @ and ~, so no functionality is lost.  Some quick testing suggests
that they offer no real benefit over the core operators, however.

Per a complaint from Rusty Conover.

df13324f08 Add a "relistemp" boolean column to pg_class, which is true for temporary
relations (including a temp table's indexes and toast table/index), and
false for normal relations.  For ease of checking, this commit just adds
the column and fills it correctly --- revising the relation access machinery
to use it will come separately.
