Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments
to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments
following #endif to not obey the general rule.
Commit e3860ffa4d wasn't actually using
the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that
tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of
code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be
moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's
code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops
in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working
in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the
net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed
one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves
more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such
cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after
the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after.
Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same
as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else.
That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage
from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent.
This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...
node now does its own grouping of the input rows, and has no need for a
preceding GROUP node in the plan pipeline. This allows elimination of
the misnamed tuplePerGroup option for GROUP, and actually saves more code
in nodeGroup.c than it costs in nodeAgg.c, as well as being presumably
faster. Restructure the API of query_planner so that we do not commit to
using a sorted or unsorted plan in query_planner; instead grouping_planner
makes the decision. (Right now it isn't any smarter than query_planner
was, but that will change as soon as it has the option to select a hash-
based aggregation step.) Despite all the hackery, no initdb needed since
only in-memory node types changed.
PX recombination operator, changes some elog() messages from LOG
to DEBUG1, puts some debugging functions inside the appropriate
#ifdef (not enabled by default), and makes a few other minor
cleanups.
BTW, the elog() change is motivated by at least one user who
has sent a concerned email to -general asking exactly what the
"ERX recombination operator" is, and what it is doing to their
DBMS.
