Tom Lane 44fbe20d62 Restructure indexscan API (index_beginscan, index_getnext) per
yesterday's proposal to pghackers.  Also remove unnecessary parameters
to heap_beginscan, heap_rescan.  I modified pg_proc.h to reflect the
new numbers of parameters for the AM interface routines, but did not
force an initdb because nothing actually looks at those fields.

backend_pid()

	return the pid of our corresponding backend.

unlisten(relname)

	unlisten from a relation or from all relations if the argument
	is null, empty or '*'.
	It is now obsoleted by the new unlisten command but still useful
	if you want unlisten a name computed by the query.
	Note that a listen/notify relname can be any ascii string, not
	just valid relation names.

min(x,y)
max(x,y)

	return the min or max of two integers.
