Remove the 64K limit on the lengths of keys and values within an hstore.
(This changes the on-disk format, but the old format can still be read.)
Add support for btree/hash opclasses for hstore --- this is not so much
for actual indexing purposes as to allow use of GROUP BY, DISTINCT, etc.
Add various other new functions and operators.

unnecessary #include lines in it. Also, move some tuple routine prototypes and
macros to htup.h, which allows removal of heapam.h inclusion from some .c
files.
For this to work, a new header file access/sysattr.h needed to be created,
initially containing attribute numbers of system columns, for pg_dump usage.
While at it, make contrib ltree, intarray and hstore header files more
consistent with our header style.
with minor editorization by me.
Hstore improvements
* add operation hstore ? text - excat equivalent of exist()
* remove undocumented behaviour of contains operation with NULL value
* now 'key'::text=>NULL returns '"key"=>NULL' instead of NULL
* Add GIN support for contains and exist operations
* Add GiST support for exist operatiion
* improve regression tests
ways. I'm not totally sure that I caught everything, but at least now they pass
their regression tests with VARSIZE/SET_VARSIZE defined to reverse byte order.
