fcc02c20fc Update PL documentation:
An article at WebProNews quoted from the PG docs as to the merits of
stored procedures.  I have added a bit more material on their merits,
as well as making a few changes to improve the introductions to
PL/Perl and PL/Tcl.

21e343da35 Make plperl's $_TD trigger data a global rather than a lexical variable,
with a fresh local value for each invocation, to avoid unexpected sharing
violations. Per recent -hackers discussion.

777f72cd37 Add table_name and table_schema to plperl trigger data. relname is
kept but now deprecated. Patch from Adam Sjøgren. Add regression test to
show plperl trigger data (Andrew).
TBD: apply similar changes to plpgsql, plpython and pltcl.

8e5a10d46c This patch makes the error message strings throughout the backend
more compliant with the error message style guide. In particular,
errdetail should begin with a capital letter and end with a period,
whereas errmsg should not. I also fixed a few related issues in
passing, such as fixing the repeated misspelling of "lexeme" in
contrib/tsearch2 (per Tom's suggestion).

24fa8746ae Fix incorrect wording about function failure time on unsafe ops - these
are now caught by the validator. And a small visit from the perl style police:
check the return value from open().

35f4994133 Fix plperl and pltcl error handling per my previous proposal. SPI
operations are now run as subtransactions, so that errors in them
can be reported as ordinary Perl or Tcl errors and caught by the
normal error handling convention of those languages.  Also do some
minor code cleanup in pltcl.c: extract a large chunk of duplicated
code in pltcl_SPI_execute and pltcl_SPI_execute_plan into a shared
subroutine.
