Support "variadic" functions, which can accept a variable number of arguments
...
so long as all the trailing arguments are of the same (non-array) type.
The function receives them as a single array argument (which is why they
have to all be the same type).
It might be useful to extend this facility to aggregates, but this patch
doesn't do that.
This patch imposes a noticeable slowdown on function lookup --- a follow-on
patch will fix that by adding a redundant column to pg_proc.

Create a type-specific typanalyze routine for tsvector, which collects stats
...
on the most common individual lexemes in place of the mostly-useless default
behavior of counting duplicate tsvectors. Future work: create selectivity
estimation functions that actually do something with these stats.
(Some other things we ought to look at doing: using the Lossy Counting
algorithm in compute_minimal_stats, and using the element-counting idea for
stats on regular arrays.)

As the buffer could now be a lot larger than before, and copying it could

copy the query string, as was already suggested in comments. Also, only copy
the PgBackendStatus struct and string if the slot is in use.

Rearrange ALTER TABLE syntax processing as per my recent proposal: the
...
grammar allows ALTER TABLE/INDEX/SEQUENCE/VIEW interchangeably for all
subforms of those commands, and then we sort out what's really legal
at execution time. This allows the ALTER SEQUENCE/VIEW reference pages
to fully document all the ALTER forms available for sequences and views
respectively, and eliminates a longstanding cause of confusion for users.
The net effect is that the following forms are allowed that weren't before:
ALTER SEQUENCE OWNER TO
ALTER VIEW ALTER COLUMN SET/DROP DEFAULT
ALTER VIEW OWNER TO
ALTER VIEW SET SCHEMA
(There's no actual functionality gain here, but formerly you had to say
ALTER TABLE instead.)
Interestingly, the grammar tables actually get smaller, probably because
there are fewer special cases to keep track of.
I did not disallow using ALTER TABLE for these operations. Perhaps we
should, but there's a backwards-compatibility issue if we do; in fact
it would break existing pg_dump scripts. I did however tighten up
ALTER SEQUENCE and ALTER VIEW to reject non-sequences and non-views
in the new cases as well as a couple of cases where they didn't before.
The patch doesn't change pg_dump to use the new syntaxes, either.
