Tom Lane 11324e408f Remove vestigial grammar support for CHARACTER ... CHARACTER SET option. 
The SQL standard says that you should be able to write "CHARACTER SET foo"
as part of the declaration of a char-type column.  We don't implement that,
but a rough form of support has existed in gram.y since commit f10b63923.
That's now sat there for nigh 20 years without anyone fleshing it out ---
and even if someone did, the contemplated approach of having separate data
type name(s) for every character set certainly isn't what we'd do today.
Let's just remove the grammar production; if anyone is ever motivated to
work on this, reinventing the grammar support is a trivial fraction of
what they'd have to do.  And we've never documented anything about
supporting such a clause.

Per gripe from Neha Khatri.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
