libxml reports some errors (like invalid xmlns attributes) via the error
handler hook, but still returns a success indicator to the library caller.
This causes us to miss some errors that are important to report. Since the
"generic" error handler hook doesn't know whether the message it's getting
is for an error, warning, or notice, stop using that and instead start
using the "structured" error handler hook, which gets enough information
to be useful.
While at it, arrange to save and restore the error handler hook setting in
each libxml-using function, rather than assuming we can set and forget the
hook. This should improve the odds of working nicely with third-party
libraries that also use libxml.
In passing, volatile-ize some local variables that get modified within
PG_TRY blocks. I noticed this while testing with an older gcc version
than I'd previously tried to compile xml.c with.

There may be some other places where we should use errdetail_internal,
but they'll have to be evaluated case-by-case. This commit just hits
a bunch of places where invoking gettext is obviously a waste of cycles.
Add errno-based output to error messages where appropriate, reformat
blocks to about 72 characters per line, use spaces instead of tabs for
indentation, and other style adjustments.
This was already a runtime failure condition, but it's better to check
at validation time if possible. Lightly modified version of a patch
by Shigeru Hanada.
Certain subdirectories do not get built if corresponding options are not
selected at configure time. However, "make distprep" should visit such
directories anyway, so that constructing derived files to be included in
the tarball happens without requiring all configure options to be given
in the tarball build script. Likewise, it's better if cleanup actions
unconditionally visit all directories (for example, this ensures proper
cleanup if someone has done a manual make in such a subdirectory).
To handle this, set up a convention that subdirectories that are
conditionally included in SUBDIRS should be added to ALWAYS_SUBDIRS
instead when they are excluded.
Back-patch to 9.1, so that plpython's spiexceptions.h will get provided
in 9.1 tarballs. There don't appear to be any instances where distprep
actions got missed in previous releases, and anyway this fix requires
gmake 3.80 so we don't want to apply it before 9.1.
A password containing a character with the high bit set was misprocessed
on machines where char is signed (which is most). This could cause the
preceding one to three characters to fail to affect the hashed result,
thus weakening the password. The result was also unportable, and failed
to match some other blowfish implementations such as OpenBSD's.
Since the fix changes the output for such passwords, upstream chose
to provide a compatibility hack: password salts beginning with $2x$
(instead of the usual $2a$ for blowfish) are intentionally processed
"wrong" to give the same hash as before. Stored password hashes can
thus be modified if necessary to still match, though it'd be better
to change any affected passwords.
In passing, sync a couple other upstream changes that marginally improve
performance and/or tighten error checking.
Back-patch to all supported branches. Since this issue is already
public, no reason not to commit the fix ASAP.
This is an ugly hack to get around the fact that significant parts of the
core backend assume they don't need to worry about passing collation to
equality and hashing functions. That's true for the core string datatypes,
but citext should ideally have equality behavior that depends on the
specified collation's LC_CTYPE. However, there's no chance of fixing the
core before 9.2, so we'll have to live with this compromise arrangement for
now. Per bug #6053 from Regina Obe.
The code changes in this commit should be reverted in full once the core
code is up to speed, but be careful about reverting the docs changes:
I fixed a number of obsolete statements while at it.
For consistency, have all non-ASCII characters from contributors'
names in the source be in UTF-8. But remove some other more
gratuitous uses of non-ASCII characters.
