Tom Lane f31a931fad Improve contrib/cube's handling of zero-D cubes, infinities, and NaNs.
It's always been possible to create a zero-dimensional cube by converting
from a zero-length float8 array, but cube_in failed to accept the '()'
representation that cube_out produced for that case, resulting in a
dump/reload hazard.  Make it accept the case.  Also fix a couple of
other places that didn't behave sanely for zero-dimensional cubes:
cube_size would produce 1.0 when surely the answer should be 0.0,
and g_cube_distance risked a divide-by-zero failure.

Likewise, it's always been possible to create cubes containing float8
infinity or NaN coordinate values, but cube_in couldn't parse such input,
and cube_out produced platform-dependent spellings of the values.  Convert
them to use float8in_internal and float8out_internal so that the behavior
will be the same as for float8, as we recently did for the core geometric
types (cf commit 50861cd68).  As in that commit, I don't pretend that this
patch fixes all insane corner-case behaviors that may exist for NaNs, but
it's a step forward.

(This change allows removal of the separate cube_1.out and cube_3.out
expected-files, as the platform dependency that previously required them
is now gone: an underflowing coordinate value will now produce an error
not plus or minus zero.)

Make errors from cube_in follow project conventions as to spelling
("invalid input syntax for cube" not "bad cube representation")
and errcode (INVALID_TEXT_REPRESENTATION not SYNTAX_ERROR).

Also a few marginal code cleanups and comment improvements.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------

This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree.  This does not preclude their
usefulness.

User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.

When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target.  You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.

Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types.  To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command.  In a fresh database,
you can simply do

    CREATE EXTENSION module_name;

See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
