73d6eb2446 Change 'merge sort join', a phrase we use nowhere else, to the more
usual 'merge join'.

1161f1ae14 Remove the long-deprecated -u option from psql, since it does nothing very
useful and confuses people who think it is the same as -U.  (Eventually
we might want to re-introduce it as being an alias for -U, but that should
not happen until the switch has actually not been there for a few releases.)
Likewise in pg_dump and pg_restore.  Per gripe from Robert Treat and
subsequent discussion.

3bf66d6f1c Extend the format of CSV logs to include the additional information supplied
with the logged event.  CSV logs are now a first-class citizen along plain
text logs in that they carry much of the same information.

Per complaint from depesz on bug #3799.

4192f2d85a Remove the -P options of oid2name and pgbench, as they are security
hazards.  Instead teach these programs to prompt for a password when
necessary, just like all our other programs.
I did not bother to invent -W switches for them, since the return on
investment seems so low.

wording.

4f9bf7fc5a Fix up the PQconnectionUsedPassword mess: create a separate
PQconnectionNeedsPassword function that tells the right thing for whether to
prompt for a password, and improve PQconnectionUsedPassword so that it checks
whether the password used by the connection was actually supplied as a
connection argument, instead of coming from environment or a password file.
Per bug report from Mark Cave-Ayland and subsequent discussion.

3b3251cb95 Ensure that all <sect1> and <refentry> tags have IDs. This is needed
to ensure that the resulting webpages have predictable URLs, instead of
ever-changing numeric IDs.  The new contrib docs were the biggest
offender, but some old stuff had the problem too.  Also, rename a couple
of new contrib sgml files for consistency's sake.

3f89964234 Add quote_literal(anyelement) to preserve (and, in fact, extend) a
useful consequence of the former liberal implicit casting to text;
namely that you can feed non-string values to quote_literal() and get
unsurprising results.  Per discussion.
