Add a new libpq connection option client_encoding (which includes the
existing PGCLIENTENCODING environment variable), which besides an
encoding name accepts a special value "auto" that tries to determine
the encoding from the locale in the client's environment, using the
mechanisms that have been in use in initdb.
psql sets this new connection option to "auto" when running from a
terminal and not overridden by setting PGCLIENTENCODING.

This patch adds the server infrastructure to support extensions.
There is still one significant loose end, namely how to make it play nice
with pg_upgrade, so I am not yet committing the changes that would make
all the contrib modules depend on this feature.
In passing, fix a disturbingly large amount of breakage in
AlterObjectNamespace() and callers.

Foreign tables are a core component of SQL/MED. This commit does
not provide a working SQL/MED infrastructure, because foreign tables
cannot yet be queried. Support for foreign table scans will need to
be added in a future patch. However, this patch creates the necessary
system catalog structure, syntax support, and support for ancillary
operations such as COMMENT and SECURITY LABEL.

\dn without "S" now hides all pg_XXX schemas as well as information_schema.
Thus, in a bare database you'll only see "public". ("public" is considered
a user schema, not a system schema, mainly because it's droppable.)
Per discussion back in late September.
- Avoid closing stdin, since we didn't open it. Previously multiple
inclusions of stdin would be terminated with a single quit, now a separate
quit is needed for each invocation. Previous behavior also accessed stdin
after it was fclose()d, which is undefined behavior per ANSI C.
- Properly restore pset.inputfile, since the caller expects to be able
to free that memory.

and the editor's cursor will be initially placed on that line. In \e the
lines are counted with respect to the query buffer, while in \ef they are
counted with line 1 = first line of function body. These choices are useful
for positioning the cursor on the line of a previously-reported error.
To avoid assumptions about what switch the user's editor takes for this
purpose, invent a new psql variable EDITOR_LINENUMBER_SWITCH with (at
present) no default value.
One incompatibility from previous behavior is that "\e 1234" will now
take "1234" as a line number not a file name. There are at least two
ways to select a numerically-named file if you really want to.

the parameters of \connect, and fix oversight of not enabling translation
of the messages. Also, adjust \connect's similar messages to match, and
deal with 8.2-era violation of basic translatability guidelines there.
We now use the phrase 'via local socket in' rather than 'on host' in both
\c and \conninfo output, when applicable.
Fujii Masao, with some kibitzing by me.
Per discussion with David Christensen, there can be multiple
instances of PG accessible via local sockets, and you need the port
to see which one you're actually connected to. David's original
patch worked this way, but I inadvertently ripped it out during
commit.
Depending on which spec you read, field widths and precisions in %s may be
counted either in bytes or characters. Our code was assuming bytes, which
is wrong at least for glibc's implementation, and in any case libc might
have a different idea of the prevailing encoding than we do. Hence, for
portable results we must avoid using anything more complex than just "%s"
unless the string to be printed is known to be all-ASCII.
This patch fixes the cases I could find, including the psql formatting
failure reported by Hernan Gonzalez. In HEAD only, I also added comments
to some places where it appears safe to continue using "%.*s".
Those options do nothing right now, but might be wanted later, and in
any case it's confusing for the command to be interpreted as \dd if
anything is appended. Per Jaime Casanova.
--single-transaction are both used and the failure happens in commit,
e.g. failed deferred trigger. Also properly free BEGIN/COMMIT result
structures from --single-transaction.
Per report from Dominic Bevacqua
If expand_dbname is non-zero and dbname contains an = sign, it is taken as
a conninfo string in exactly the same way as if it had been passed to
PQconnectdb. This is equivalent to the way PQsetdbLogin() works, allowing
PQconnectdbParams() to be a complete alternative.
Also improve the way the new function is called from psql and replace a
previously missed call to PQsetdbLogin() in psql. Additionally use
PQconnectdbParams() for pg_dump and friends, and the bin/scripts
command line utilities such as vacuumdb, createdb, etc.
Finally, update the documentation for the new parameter, as well as the
nuances of precedence in cases where key words are repeated or duplicated
in the conninfo string.
in the formerly-always-blank columns just to left and right of the data.
Different marking is used for a line break caused by a newline in the data
than for a straight wraparound. A newline break is signaled by a "+" in the
right margin column in ASCII mode, or a carriage return arrow in UNICODE mode.
Wraparound is signaled by a dot in the right margin as well as the following
left margin in ASCII mode, or an ellipsis symbol in the same places in UNICODE
mode. "\pset linestyle old-ascii" is added to make the previous behavior
available if anyone really wants it.
In passing, this commit also cleans up a few regression test files that
had unintended spacing differences from the current actual output.

ASCII-art style of table output to be upgraded to use Unicode box drawing
characters if desired. By default, psql will use the Unicode characters
whenever client_encoding is UTF8.
The patch forces linestyle=ascii in pg_regress usage, ensuring we don't
break the regression tests in Unicode locales.

Create a new catalog pg_db_role_setting where they are now stored, and better
encapsulate the code that deals with settings into its realm. The old
datconfig and rolconfig columns are removed.
psql has gained a \drds command to display the settings.
Backwards compatibility warning: while the backwards-compatible system views
still have the config columns, they no longer completely represent the
configuration for a user or database.
Catalog version bumped.
the privileges that will be applied to subsequently-created objects.
Such adjustments are always per owning role, and can be restricted to objects
created in particular schemas too. A notable benefit is that users can
override the traditional default privilege settings, eg, the PUBLIC EXECUTE
privilege traditionally granted by default for functions.

append_history(), if libreadline is new enough to have those functions
(they seem to be present at least since 4.2; but libedit may not have them).
This gives significantly saner behavior when two or more sessions overlap in
their use of the history file; although having two sessions exit at just the
same time is still perilous to your history. The behavior of \s remains
unchanged, ie, overwrite whatever was there.

have \dtS show system and _user_ tables, to be consistent with other \d*

This doesn't do any remote or external things yet, but it gives modules
like plproxy and dblink a standardized and future-proof system for
managing their connection information.

up a SSL connection, but psql is compiled without support for it.
Not a really realistic use-case, but the patch also cuts down on
the number of places with #ifdef's...
for editing if no function name is specified. This seems a much cleaner way
to offer that functionality than the original patch had. In passing,
de-clutter the error displays that are given for a bogus function-name
argument, and standardize on "$function$" as the default delimiter for the
function body. (The original coding would use the shortest possible
dollar-quote delimiter, which seems to create unnecessarily high risk of
later conflicts with the user-modified function body.)
In support of that, create a backend function pg_get_functiondef().
The psql command is functional but maybe a bit rough around the edges...

file portability/instr_time.h, and add a couple more macros to eliminate
some abstraction leakage we formerly had. Also update psql to use this
header instead of its own copy of nearly the same code.
This commit in itself is just code cleanup and shouldn't change anything.
It lays some groundwork for the upcoming function-stats patch, though.
