fixup various places in the tree that were clearing a StringInfo by hand.
Making this function a part of the API simplifies client code slightly,
and avoids needlessly peeking inside the StringInfo interface.
Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...
rewritten and the protocol is changed, but most elog calls are still
elog calls. Also, we need to contemplate mechanisms for controlling
all this functionality --- eg, how much stuff should appear in the
postmaster log? And what API should libpq expose for it?
a switch statement that has an empty default label. A label of a
switch statement must be followed by a statement (or a label which
is followed by a statement (or a label which ...)).
3. Files include stringinfo.h failed to compile. The macro,
'appendStringInfoCharMacro' is implemented with a '?:' operation
that returns a void expression for the true part and a char expresion
for the false part. Both the true and false parts of the '?:' oper-
ator must return the same type.

can be generated in a buffer and then sent to the frontend in a single
libpq call. This solves problems with NOTICE and ERROR messages generated
in the middle of a data message or COPY OUT operation.
where you state a format and arguments. the old behavior required
each appendStringInfo to have to have a sprintf() before it if any
formatting was required.
Also shortened several instances where there were multiple appendStringInfo()
calls in a row, doing nothing more then adding one more word to the String,
instead of doing them all in one call.
