b4794bfb54 This patch improves the "Database Users and Permissions" section of
the Administrator's Guide. This section needs a lot more work, but
this is a start anyway...

c0d4d5473a Make the world somewhat safe for (not from) DELETE FROM pg_shadow;
Assign the fixed user id 1 to the user created by initdb.
A stand-alone backend will always set the user id to 1.
(Consequently, the name of that user is no longer important.)

In stand-alone mode, the user id 1 will have implicit superuser
status, to allow repairs even if there are no users defined.

Print a warning message when starting in stand-alone mode when no
users are defined.

Disallow dropping the current user and session user.

Granting/revoking superuser status also grants/revokes usecatupd.
(Previously, it would never grant it back.  This could lead to "deadlocks".)

CREATE USER and CREATE GROUP will start allocating user ids at 100
(unless explicitly specified), to prevent accidental creation of a
superuser (plus some room for future extensions).

e6767a3205 Final markup for 7.1 hardcopy release. Mostly typo and table-fitting
adjustments. Note that many tables are being abused with *really* long
 description columns. Should probably shrink those columns to be more
 concise, and move some of the info to follow-on reference notes.
