59414cdedb Change psql's \dd command to do something more useful.
Instead of displaying comments on an arbitrary subset of the object
types which support them, make \dd display comments on exactly those
object types which don't have their own backlash commands.  We now
regard the display of comments as properly the job of the relevant
backslash command (though many of them do so only in verbose mode)
rather than something that \dd should be responsible for.  However,
a handful of object types have no backlash command, so make \dd
give information about those.

c9ac00e6ec Teach psql to display the comments on conversions and domains.
\dc and \dD now accept a "+" option, which will cause the comments to
be displayed.  Along the way, correct a few oversights in the previous
commit in this area, 3b17efdfdd - namely,
(1) when \dL+ is used, make description still be the last column, for
consistency with what we've done elsewhere; and (2) document the
difference between \dC and \dC+.

Josh Kupershmidt, with a couple of doc changes by me.

3b17efdfdd Teach psql to display comments on languages and casts.
The output of \dL (list languages) is fairly narrow, so we just always
display the comment.  \dC (list casts) can get fairly wide, so we only
display comments if the new \dC+ option is specified.

c7f23494c1 Add \ir command to psql.
\ir is short for "include relative"; when used from a script, the
supplied pathname will be interpreted relative to the input file,
rather than to the current working directory.

cleanup by me.

d9572c4e3b Core support for "extensions", which are packages of SQL objects.
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.

0d692a0dc9 Basic foreign table support.
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.

568e709372 Extend psql's \e and \ef commands so that a line number can be specified,
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.

54cd4f0457 Work around a subtle portability problem in use of printf %s format.
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".

249724cb01 Create an ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES command, which allows users to adjust
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.

20f7f019f9 Easier to translate psql help
Instead of requiring translators to translate the entire SQL command
synopses, change create_help.pl to only require them to translate the
placeholders, and paste those into the synopsis using a printf mechanism.
Make some small updates to the markup to make it easier to parse.

Note: This causes msgmerge of gettext 0.17 to segfault.  You will need
the patch from https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27474 to make it work.
msgmerge usually only runs on babel.postgresql.org, however.
