Tom Lane 3db826bd55 Tighten up allowed names for custom GUC parameters.
Formerly we were pretty lax about what a custom GUC's name could
be; so long as it had at least one dot in it, we'd take it.
However, corner cases such as dashes or equal signs in the name
would cause various bits of functionality to misbehave.  Rather
than trying to make the world perfectly safe for that, let's
just require that custom names look like "identifier.identifier",
where "identifier" means something that scan.l would accept
without double quotes.

Along the way, this patch refactors things slightly in guc.c
so that find_option() is responsible for reporting GUC-not-found
cases, allowing removal of duplicative code from its callers.

Per report from Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski.  No back-patch,
since the consequences of the problem don't seem to warrant
changing behavior in stable branches.

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/.
