Robert Haas aa64f23b02 Remove MaxBackends variable in favor of GetMaxBackends() function.
Previously, it was really easy to write code that accessed MaxBackends
before we'd actually initialized it, especially when coding up an
extension. To make this less error-prune, introduce a new function
GetMaxBackends() which should be used to obtain the correct value.
This will ERROR if called too early. Demote the global variable to
a file-level static, so that nobody can peak at it directly.

Nathan Bossart. Idea by Andres Freund. Review by Greg Sabino Mullane,
by Michael Paquier (who had doubts about the approach), and by me.

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/.
