Tom Lane 742b30caee Remove arbitrary MAXPGPATH limit on command lengths in pg_ctl.
Replace fixed-length command buffers with psprintf() calls.  We didn't
have anything as convenient as psprintf() when this code was written,
but now that we do, there's little reason for the limitation to
stand.  Removing it eliminates some corner cases where (for example)
starting the postmaster with a whole lot of options fails.

Most individual file names that pg_ctl deals with are still restricted
to MAXPGPATH, but we've seldom had complaints about that limitation
so long as it only applies to one filename.

Back-patch to all supported 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/.
