c0989c67fa Change the interpretation of the primary_key_attnums parameter of
dblink_build_sql_insert() and related functions.  Now the column numbers
are treated as logical not physical column numbers.  This will provide saner
behavior in the presence of dropped columns; furthermore, if we ever get
around to allowing rearrangement of logical column ordering, the original
definition would become nearly untenable from a usability standpoint.
Per recent discussion of dblink's handling of dropped columns.
Not back-patched for fear of breaking existing applications.

b17129b589 Remove hstore's text[] => text[] operator.
This is not yet in any released version, so we still have the option to
backtrack.  Instead, document hstore(text[], text[]).  Per discussion.

4a96908575 Document new 9.0 behavior of ANALYZE on inheritance hierarchies.
In particular, note that autovacuum does not yet understand that it might
need to vacuum inheritance parents as a result of changes to the child
tables.

41f302b52a Add new GUC categories corresponding to sections in docs, and move

e751b71b56 Use "replication" as the database name when constructing a connection
string for a streaming replication connection. It's ignored by the
server, but allows libpq to pick up the password from .pgpass where
"replication" is specified as the database name.

Patch by Fujii Masao per Tom's suggestion, with some wording changes by me.

b5faba1284 Ensure default-only storage parameters for TOAST relations
to be initialized with proper values. Affected parameters are
fillfactor, analyze_threshold, and analyze_scale_factor.

Especially uninitialized fillfactor caused inefficient page usage
because we built a StdRdOptions struct in which fillfactor is zero
if any reloption is set for the toast table.

In addition, we disallow toast.autovacuum_analyze_threshold and
toast.autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor because we didn't actually
support them; they are always ignored.

Report by Rumko on pgsql-bugs on 12 May 2010.
Analysis by Tom Lane and Alvaro Herrera. Patch by me.

Backpatch to 8.4.

0cc59cc1f3 Add current WAL end (as seen by walsender, ie, GetWriteRecPtr() result)
and current server clock time to SR data messages.  These are not currently
used on the slave side but seem likely to be useful in future, and it'd be
better not to change the SR protocol after release.  Per discussion.
Also do some minor code review and cleanup on walsender.c, and improve the
protocol documentation.
