Tom Lane 26e9d4d4ef Convert elog.c's useful_strerror() into a globally-used strerror wrapper.
elog.c has long had a private strerror wrapper that handles assorted
possible failures or deficiencies of the platform's strerror.  On Windows,
it also knows how to translate Winsock error codes, which the native
strerror does not.  Move all this code into src/port/strerror.c and
define strerror() as a macro that invokes it, so that both our frontend
and backend code will have all of this behavior.

I believe this constitutes an actual bug fix on Windows, since AFAICS
our frontend code did not report Winsock error codes properly before this.
However, the main point is to lay the groundwork for implementing %m
in src/port/snprintf.c: the behavior we want %m to have is this one,
not the native strerror's.

Note that this throws away the prior use of src/port/strerror.c,
which was to implement strerror() on platforms lacking it.  That's
been dead code for nigh twenty years now, since strerror() was
already required by C89.

We should likewise cause strerror_r to use this behavior, but
I'll tackle that separately.

Patch by me, reviewed by Michael Paquier

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:

	https://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
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
