> 	o -Prevent child tables from altering or dropping constraints

Tom Lane cd902b331d Change the rules for inherited CHECK constraints to be essentially the same
as those for inherited columns; that is, it's no longer allowed for a child
table to not have a check constraint matching one that exists on a parent.
This satisfies the principle of least surprise (rows selected from the parent
will always appear to meet its check constraints) and eliminates some
longstanding bogosity in pg_dump, which formerly had to guess about whether
check constraints were really inherited or not.

The implementation involves adding conislocal and coninhcount columns to
pg_constraint (paralleling attislocal and attinhcount in pg_attribute)
and refactoring various ALTER TABLE actions to be more like those for
columns.

Magnus Hagander 0423de4d30 Make the pg_stat_activity view call a SRF (pg_stat_get_activity())
instead of calling a bunch of individual functions.

This function can also be called directly, taking a PID as an argument, to
return only the data for a single PID.

Tom Lane cf9f6c8d8e Extend yesterday's patch making BLCKSZ and RELSEG_SIZE configurable to also
let XLOG_BLCKSZ and XLOG_SEG_SIZE be set via configure.  Per a proposal by
Mark Wong, though I thought it better to call the switches after "wal" rather
than "xlog".

Tom Lane 3c6248a828 Remove the recently added USE_SEGMENTED_FILES option, and indeed remove all
support for a nonsegmented mode from md.c.  Per recent discussions, there
doesn't seem to be much value in a "never segment" option as opposed to
segmenting with a suitably large segment size.  So instead provide a
configure-time switch to set the desired segment size in units of gigabytes.
While at it, expose a configure switch for BLCKSZ as well.

Tom Lane 1b1e335b15 Make the minimum allowed value of work_mem be 64KB always, rather than having
it vary with BLCKSZ as before.  This agrees with what the documentation says,
and avoids a regression test problem when BLCKSZ is larger than default.
Per recent discussion.
