Tom Lane f159f18141 Fix ecpg's mechanism for detecting unsupported cases in the grammar.
ecpg wants to emit a warning if it parses a SQL construct that the
backend can parse but will immediately throw a FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED
error for.  The way it was testing for this was to see if the string
ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED appeared anywhere in the gram.y code.
This is, of course, not nearly good enough, as there are plenty of
rules in gram.y that throw that error only conditionally.  There was
a hack dating to 2008 to suppress the warning in one rule that
doesn't even exist anymore, but nothing for other cases we've created
since then.  End result was that you could get "unsupported feature
will be passed to server" warnings while compiling perfectly good SQL
code in ecpg.  Somehow we'd not heard complaints about this, but
it was exposed by the recent addition of an ecpg test for a SQL/JSON
construct.

To fix, suppress the warning if the rule contains any "if" statement.
Manual comparison of gram.y with the generated preproc.y file shows
that the warning is now emitted only in rules where it's sensible.

This problem has existed for a long time, so back-patch to all
supported branches.

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
