Thomas Munro 75357ab940 Remove configure probe for sys/uio.h.
<sys/uio.h> is in SUSv2, and all targeted Unix system have it, so we
might as well drop the probe (in fact we never really needed this one).
It's where struct iovec is defined, and as a common extension, it's also
where non-standard preadv() and pwritev() are declared on systems that
have them.

We should also be able to assume that IOV_MAX is defined on Unix.

To spell out what our pg_iovec.h header does for the OSes in the build
farm as of today:

  Windows: our own struct and functions
  Solaris, Cygwin: <sys/uio.h>'s struct, our own functions
  Every other Unix: <sys/uio.h>'s struct and functions

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.
