b5faba1284 Ensure default-only storage parameters for TOAST relations
to be initialized with proper values. Affected parameters are
fillfactor, analyze_threshold, and analyze_scale_factor.

Especially uninitialized fillfactor caused inefficient page usage
because we built a StdRdOptions struct in which fillfactor is zero
if any reloption is set for the toast table.

In addition, we disallow toast.autovacuum_analyze_threshold and
toast.autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor because we didn't actually
support them; they are always ignored.

Report by Rumko on pgsql-bugs on 12 May 2010.
Analysis by Tom Lane and Alvaro Herrera. Patch by me.

Backpatch to 8.4.

3fd839950a Replace "slave" to "standby" in documentation for consistent terminology.
Almost all of the terms in docs and messages were replaced, but still
remains in a few comments and README files in codes.

0cc59cc1f3 Add current WAL end (as seen by walsender, ie, GetWriteRecPtr() result)
and current server clock time to SR data messages.  These are not currently
used on the slave side but seem likely to be useful in future, and it'd be
better not to change the SR protocol after release.  Per discussion.
Also do some minor code review and cleanup on walsender.c, and improve the
protocol documentation.

b12b7a9038 Change the notation for calling functions with named parameters from
"val AS name" to "name := val", as per recent discussion.

This patch catches everything in the original named-parameters patch,
but I'm not certain that no other dependencies snuck in later (grepping
the source tree for all uses of AS soon proved unworkable).

In passing I note that we've dropped the ball at least once on keeping
ecpg's lexer (as opposed to parser) in sync with the backend.  It would
be a good idea to go through all of pgc.l and see if it's in sync now.
I didn't attempt that at the moment.

aa5bec67de Make it more clear that you need to release savepoint with
RELEASE SAVEPOINT to make an older savepoint with the same name
accessible. It's also possible to implicitly release the savepoint by
rolling back to an earlier savepoint, but mentioning that too would make
the note just more verbose and confusing.
