Tom Lane e0f05cd5ba Improve some ancient, crufty code in bootstrap + initdb.
At some point back in the last century, somebody felt that reading
all of pg_type twice was cheaper, or at least easier, than using
repalloc() to resize the Typ[] array dynamically.  That seems like an
entirely wacko proposition, so rewrite the code to do it the other
way.  (To add insult to injury, there were two not-quite-identical
copies of said code.)

initdb.c's readfile() function had the same disease of preferring
to do double the I/O to avoid resizing its output array.  Here,
we can make things easier by using the just-invented pg_get_line()
function to handle reading individual lines without a predetermined
notion of how long they are.

On my machine, it's difficult to detect any net change in the
overall runtime of initdb from these changes; but they should
help on slower buildfarm machines (especially since a buildfarm
cycle involves a lot of initdb's these days).

My attention was drawn to these places by scan-build complaints,
but on inspection they needed a lot more work than just suppressing
dead stores :-(

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/.
