Tom Lane 7844608e54 Get rid of USE_WIDE_UPPER_LOWER dependency in trigram construction.
contrib/pg_trgm's make_trigrams() was coded to ignore multibyte character
boundaries and just make trigrams from bytes if USE_WIDE_UPPER_LOWER wasn't
defined.  This is a bit odd, since there's no obvious reason why trigram
compaction rules should depend on the presence of towlower() and friends.
What's more, there was an Assert() that would fail if that code path was
fed any multibyte characters.

We need to do something about this since the pending regex-indexing patch
has an assumption that you get just one "trgm" from any three characters.
The best solution seems to be to remove the USE_WIDE_UPPER_LOWER
dependency, which shouldn't really have been there in the first place.
The second loop in make_trigrams() is now just a fast path and not a
potentially incompatible algorithm.

If there is anybody still using Postgres on machines without wcstombs() or
towlower(), and they have non-ASCII data indexed by pg_trgm, they'll need
to REINDEX those indexes after pg_upgrade to 9.3, else searches may fail
incorrectly. It seems likely that there are no such installations, though.

In passing, rename cnt_trigram to compact_trigram, which seems to better
describe its functionality, and improve make_trigrams' test for whether it
has to use the slow path or not (per a suggestion from Alexander Korotkov).

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:

	http://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.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
