Tom Lane 46e9709f48 Remove transformAlterTableStmt's kluge to replace ColumnDef.is_not_null
flags by separate AT_SetNotNull subcommands.  That was always ugly and
inefficient, and it's now clear that it was merely a partial workaround
for the bug just identified in ATExecAddColumn.  This is just code
beautification not a bug fix, so no back-patch.

Brendan Jurd, with some trivial additional cleanup by me.

Parser
======

This directory does more than tokenize and parse SQL queries.  It also
creates Query structures for the various complex queries that are passed
to the optimizer and then executor.

parser.c	things start here
scan.l		break query into tokens
scansup.c	handle escapes in input strings
keywords.c	turn keywords into specific tokens
gram.y		parse the tokens and fill query-type-specific structures
analyze.c	top level of parse analysis for optimizable queries
parse_clause.c	handle clauses like WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, ...
parse_coerce.c	handle coercing expressions to different data types
parse_expr.c	handle expressions like col, col + 3, x = 3 or x = 4
parse_oper.c	handle operators in expressions
parse_agg.c	handle aggregates, like SUM(col1),  AVG(col2), ...
parse_func.c	handle functions, table.column and column identifiers
parse_node.c	create nodes for various structures
parse_target.c	handle the result list of the query
parse_relation.c support routines for tables and column handling
parse_type.c	support routines for data type handling
parse_utilcmd.c	parse analysis for utility commands (done at execution time)
