Stephen Frost c7a9fa399d Add support for EUI-64 MAC addresses as macaddr8
This adds in support for EUI-64 MAC addresses by adding a new data type
called 'macaddr8' (using our usual convention of indicating the number
of bytes stored).

This was largely a copy-and-paste from the macaddr data type, with
appropriate adjustments for having 8 bytes instead of 6 and adding
support for converting a provided EUI-48 (6 byte format) to the EUI-64
format.  Conversion from EUI-48 to EUI-64 inserts FFFE as the 4th and
5th bytes but does not perform the IPv6 modified EUI-64 action of
flipping the 7th bit, but we add a function to perform that specific
action for the user as it may be commonly done by users who wish to
calculate their IPv6 address based on their network prefix and 48-bit
MAC address.

Author: Haribabu Kommi, with a good bit of rework of macaddr8_in 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:

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.
