When a superuser does GRANT or REVOKE on an object he doesn't own,
...
process the command as though it were issued by the object owner.
This prevents creating weird scenarios in which the same privileges
may appear to flow from different sources, and ensures that a superuser
can in fact revoke all privileges if he wants to. In particular this
means that the regression tests work when run by a superuser other than
the original bootstrap userid. Per report from Larry Rosenman.

Modify COPY FROM to match the null-value string against the column value

before it is de-backslashed, not after. This allows the null string \N
to be reliably distinguished from the data value \N (which must be
represented as \\N). Per bug report from Manfred Koizar ... but it's
amazing this hasn't been reported before ...
Also, be consistent about encoding conversion for null string: the form
specified in the command is in the server encoding, but what is sent
to/from client must be in client encoding. This never worked quite
right before either.

Adjust btree index build procedure so that the btree metapage looks

invalid (has the wrong magic number) until the build is entirely

anyway. In normal scenarios there's no real gain in security, because
a failed index build would roll back the transaction leaving an unused
index file, but for rebuilding shared system indexes this seems to add
some useful protection.

Attached are two patches:
- installdoc.patch contains an additional paragraph on the win32 console
codepage for the chapter "Installation on Windows"
Due to a lack of SGML-tools, I have only edited the text and not tested
the SGML code - please check it before merging into the CVS branch.
- psqlcodepage.patch adds the warning about a problematic codepage to psql.

Repair some REINDEX problems per recent discussions. The relcache is
...
now able to cope with assigning new relfilenode values to nailed-in-cache
indexes, so they can be reindexed using the fully crash-safe method. This
leaves only shared system indexes as special cases. Remove the 'index
deactivation' code, since it provides no useful protection in the shared-
index case. Require reindexing of shared indexes to be done in standalone
mode, but remove other restrictions on REINDEX. -P (IgnoreSystemIndexes)
now prevents using indexes for lookups, but does not disable index updates.
It is therefore safe to allow from PGOPTIONS. Upshot: reindexing system catalogs
can be done without a standalone backend for all cases except
shared catalogs.

Disallow foreign-key references from temp tables to permanent tables.
...
Per recent discussion, this does not work because other backends can't
reliably see tuples in a temp table and so cannot run the RI checks
correctly. Seems better to disallow this case than go back to accessing
temp tables through shared buffers. Also, disallow FK references to
ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS tables. We already caught this problem for normal
TRUNCATE, but the path used by ON COMMIT didn't check.
