fd4f3b3b62 Improve the locale and character set docs, add some <xref>s pointing 
to the character set docs where appropriate, and improve the postmaster
reference page. Character set cross-refs suggested by Gavin Kistner.

2e45c143ef Replace the virtual_host and tcpip_socket parameters with a unified 
listen_addresses parameter, as per recent discussion.  The default behavior
is now to listen on localhost, which eliminates the need for the -i
postmaster switch in many scenarios.

3ceda5eab3 I just noticed that \dp outputs "Table" to indicate relations (tables, 
sequences and views).  This patch allows it to handle views and
sequences.

bfd6f52b0e Allow 'Infinity' and '-Infinity' as input to the float4 and float8

This is only half the story: we still unconditionally reject
floating point operations that result in +/- infinity. See
