Tomas Vondra a681e3c107 Support the old signature of BRIN consistent function 
Commit a1c649d889 changed the signature of the BRIN consistent function
by adding a new required parameter.  Treating the parameter as optional,
which would make the change backwards incompatibile, was rejected with
the justification that there are few out-of-core extensions, so it's not
worth adding making the code more complex, and it's better to deal with
that in the extension.

But after further thought, that would be rather problematic, because
pg_upgrade simply dumps catalog contents and the same version of an
extension needs to work on both PostgreSQL versions. Supporting both
variants of the consistent function (with 3 or 4 arguments) makes that
possible.

The signature is not the only thing that changed, as commit 72ccf55cb9
moved handling of IS [NOT] NULL keys from the support procedures. But
this change is backward compatible - handling the keys in exension is
unnecessary, but harmless. The consistent function will do a bit of
unnecessary work, but it should be very cheap.

This also undoes most of the changes to the existing opclasses (minmax
and inclusion), making them use the old signature again. This should
make backpatching simpler.

Catversion bump, because of changes in pg_amproc.

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/.
