Not much to say here --- does what it says on the tin. The "binary"
representation in each case is really just the same as the text format,
though we prefix a version-number byte in case anyone ever feels
motivated to change that. Thus, there's not any expectation of improved
speed or reduced space; the point here is just to allow clients to use
binary format for all columns of a query result or COPY data.
This makes use of the recently added ALTER TYPE support to add binary
I/O functions to an existing data type. As in commit a80818605,
we can piggy-back on there already being a new-for-v13 version of the
ltree extension, so we don't need a new update script file.

This is numbered take 7, and addresses a set of issues around:
- Fixes for typos and incorrect reference names.
- Removal of unneeded comments.
- Removal of unreferenced functions and structures.
- Fixes regarding variable name consistency.

By project convention, these names should include "P" when dealing with a
pointer type; that is, if the result of a GETARG macro is of type FOO *,
it should be called PG_GETARG_FOO_P not just PG_GETARG_FOO. Some newer
types such as JSONB and ranges had not followed the convention, and a
number of contrib modules hadn't gotten that memo either. Rename the
offending macros to improve consistency.
In passing, fix a few places that thought PG_DETOAST_DATUM() returns
a Datum; it does not, it returns "struct varlena *". Applying
DatumGetPointer to that happens not to cause any bad effects today,
but it's formally wrong. Also, adjust an ltree macro that was designed
without any thought for what pgindent would do with it.
This is all cosmetic and shouldn't have any impact on generated code.

ltree/ltree_gist/ltxtquery's headers stores data at MAXALIGN alignment,
requiring some padding bytes. So far we left these uninitialized. Zero
those by using palloc0.

Backpatch: 9.1-
The tsquery, ltxtquery and query_int data types have a common ancestor.
Having acquired check_stack_depth() calls independently, each was
missing at least one call. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
Because of gcc -Wmissing-prototypes, all functions in dynamically
loadable modules must have a separate prototype declaration. This is
meant to detect global functions that are not declared in header files,
but in cases where the function is called via dfmgr, this is redundant.
Besides filling up space with boilerplate, this is a frequent source of
compiler warnings in extension modules.
We can fix that by creating the function prototype as part of the
PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1 macro, which such modules have to use anyway. That
makes the code of modules cleaner, because there is one less place where
the entry points have to be listed, and creates an additional check that
functions have the right prototype.
Remove now redundant prototypes from contrib and other modules.
Several functions, mostly type input functions, calculated an allocation
size such that the calculation wrapped to a small positive value when
arguments implied a sufficiently-large requirement. Writes past the end
of the inadvertent small allocation followed shortly thereafter.
Coverity identified the path_in() vulnerability; code inspection led to
the rest. In passing, add check_stack_depth() to prevent stack overflow
in related functions.
Back-patch to 8.4 (all supported versions). The non-comment hstore
changes touch code that did not exist in 8.4, so that part stops at 9.0.

Security: CVE-2014-0064
The Solaris Studio compiler warns about these instances, unlike more
mainstream compilers such as gcc. But manual inspection showed that
the code is clearly not reachable, and we hope no worthy compiler will
complain about removing this code.
The latter was already the dominant use, and it's preferable because
in C the convention is that intXX means XX bits. Therefore, allowing
mixed use of int2, int4, int8, int16, int32 is obviously confusing.
Remove the typedefs for int2 and int4 for now. They don't seem to be
widely used outside of the PostgreSQL source tree, and the few uses
can probably be cleaned up by the time this ships.
After parsing a parenthesized subexpression, we must pop all pending
ANDs and NOTs off the stack, just like the case for a simple operand.
Per bug #5793.
Also fix clones of this routine in contrib/intarray and contrib/ltree,
where input of types query_int and ltxtquery had the same problem.
Back-patch to all supported versions.
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.

their regression tests with VARSIZE/SET_VARSIZE defined to reverse byte order.
return true for exactly the characters treated as whitespace by their flex
scanners. Per report from Victor Snezhko and subsequent investigation.
Also fix a passel of unsafe usages of <ctype.h> functions, that is, ye olde
char-vs-unsigned-char issue. I won't miss <ctype.h> when we are finally
able to stop using it.
more compliant with the error message style guide. In particular,
errdetail should begin with a capital letter and end with a period,
whereas errmsg should not. I also fixed a few related issues in
passing, such as fixing the repeated misspelling of "lexeme" in
contrib/tsearch2 (per Tom's suggestion).
