5266f221a2 Merge postmaster and postgres command into just postgres. postmaster 
symlink is kept for now for compatibility.  To call single-user mode, use
postgres --single.

efe3de07e9 Removes or minimizes some documentation mentions of backward 
compatibility for release 7.2 and earlier.  I have not altered any
mentions of release 7.3 or later.  The release notes were not modified,
so the changes are still documented, just not in the main docs.

fdff883aca Clean up autovacuum documentation, which was a bit out of sync with what 
the code actually does, and needed copy-editing anyway.  Also take the
opportunity to expand the section on routine reindexing.

4cc7a93d22 Make REINDEX DATABASE do what one would expect, namely reindex all indexes 
in the database.  The old behavior (reindex system catalogs only) is now
available as REINDEX SYSTEM.  I did not add the complementary REINDEX USER
case since there did not seem to be consensus for this, but it would be
trivial to add later.  Per recent discussions.

60b2444cc3 Add code to prevent transaction ID wraparound by enforcing a safe limit 
in GetNewTransactionId().  Since the limit value has to be computed
before we run any real transactions, this requires adding code to database
startup to scan pg_database and determine the oldest datfrozenxid.
This can conveniently be combined with the first stage of an attack on
the problem that the 'flat file' copies of pg_shadow and pg_group are
not properly updated during WAL recovery.  The code I've added to
startup resides in a new file src/backend/utils/init/flatfiles.c, and
it is responsible for rewriting the flat files as well as initializing
the XID wraparound limit value.  This will eventually allow us to get
rid of GetRawDatabaseInfo too, but we'll need an initdb so we can add
a trigger to pg_database.

bdf8ef6925 Create a built-in log rotation program, so that we no longer have to 
recommend that people go get Apache's rotatelogs program.  Additional
benefits are that configuration is done through GUC, rather than
externally, and that the postmaster can monitor the log rotator and
restart it after failure (though we certainly hope that won't happen
often).
Andreas Pflug, some rework by Tom Lane.

0655b26282 log_destination should only be PGC_SIGHUP, not PGC_POSTMASTER, as per

8e0d642c9b Documentation for transaction-ID-wraparound changes. Add a chapter to 
the Admin Guide about routine maintenance tasks.  Currently this only
discusses the various reasons for doing VACUUM, but perhaps it could be
fleshed out with topics like log rotation.
