Mention as a potential incompatibility the fact that SELECT DISTINCT, UNION,
...
etc are no longer guaranteed to produce sorted output; per gripe from Ian
Barwick. Also improve the release note entries about to_timestamp(), per
Brendan Jurd.

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.

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.)

the checkpoint in immediate or lazy mode. This is to address complaints

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.

Add a "relistemp" boolean column to pg_class, which is true for temporary

to use it will come separately.
