ecpglib has been calling it once per SQL query and once per EXEC SQL GET
DESCRIPTOR. Instead, if newlocale() has not succeeded before, call it
while establishing a connection. This mitigates three problems:
- If newlocale() failed in EXEC SQL GET DESCRIPTOR, the command silently
proceeded without the intended locale change.
- On AIX, each newlocale()+freelocale() cycle leaked memory.
- newlocale() CPU usage may have been nontrivial.
Fail the connection attempt if newlocale() fails. Rearrange
ecpg_do_prologue() to validate the connection before its uselocale().
The sort of program that may regress is one running in an environment
where newlocale() fails. If that program establishes connections
without running SQL statements, it will stop working in response to this
change. I'm betting against the importance of such an ECPG use case.
Most SQL execution (any using ECPGdo()) has long required newlocale()
success, so there's little a connection could do without newlocale().
Back-patch to v10 (all supported versions).

Declaring this in the client-visible header ecpglib.h was a pretty
poor decision. It's not meant to be application-callable (and if
it was, putting it outside the extern "C" { ... } wrapper means
that C++ clients would fail to call it). And the declaration would
not even compile for a client, anyway, since it would not have the
macro pg_attribute_format_arg(). Fortunately, it seems that no
clients have tried to include this header with ENABLE_NLS defined,
or we'd have gotten complaints about that. But we have no business
putting such a restriction on client code.
Move the declaration to ecpglib_extern.h, since in fact nothing
outside src/interfaces/ecpg/ecpglib/ needs to call it.
The practical effect of this is just that clients can now safely
#include ecpglib.h while having ENABLE_NLS defined, but that seems
like enough of a reason to back-patch it.

This reverts commit bd7c95f0c1a38becffceb3ea7234d57167f6d4bf,
along with assorted follow-on fixes. There are some questions
about the definition and implementation of that statement, and
we don't have time to resolve them before v13 release. Rather
than ship the feature and then have backwards-compatibility
concerns constraining any redesign, let's remove it for now
and try again later.

This addresses a couple of issues in the code:
- Typos and inconsistencies in comments and function declarations.
- Removal of unreferenced function declarations.
- Removal of unnecessary compile flags.
- A cleanup error in regressplans.sh.

We have a longstanding project convention that all .h files should
be includable with no prerequisites other than postgres.h. This is
tested/relied-on by cpluspluscheck. However, cpluspluscheck has not
historically been applied to most headers outside the src/include
tree, with the predictable consequence that some of them don't work.
Fix that, usually by adding missing #include dependencies.
The change in printf_hack.h might require some explanation: without
it, my C++ compiler whines that the function is unused. There's
not so many call sites that "inline" is going to cost much, and
besides all the callers are in test code that we really don't care
about the size of.
There's no actual bugs being fixed here, so I see no need to back-patch.

This is still using the 2.0 version of pg_bsd_indent.
I thought it would be good to commit this separately,
so as to document the differences between 2.0 and 2.1 behavior.

Besides implementing the new statement this change fix some issues with the
parsing of PREPARE and EXECUTE statements. The different forms of these
statements are now all handled in a ujnified way.

So far ECPG programs had to treat binary data for bytea column as 'char' type.
But this meant converting from/to escaped format with PQunescapeBytea/
PQescapeBytea() and therefore forcing users to add unnecessary code and cost
for the conversion in runtime. By adding a dedicated datatype for bytea most of
this special handling is no longer needed.

DECLARE STATEMENT is a statement that lets users declare an identifier
pointing at a connection. This identifier will be used in other embedded
dynamic SQL statement such as PREPARE, EXECUTE, DECLARE CURSOR and so on.
When connecting to a non-default connection, the AT clause can be used in
a DECLARE STATEMENT once and is no longer needed in every dynamic SQL
statement. This makes ECPG applications easier and more efficient. Moreover,
writing code without designating connection explicitly improves portability.

While Windows (allegedly) has _configthreadlocale() pretty far back,
it seems MinGW didn't acquire support for that till more recently.
Fortunately, we can use an autoconf probe on that toolchain,
instead of guessing whether it's there. (Hm, I wonder whether Cygwin
will need this also.)
Per buildfarm.

ecpglib attempts to force the LC_NUMERIC locale to "C" while reading
server output, to avoid problems with strtod() and related functions.
Historically it's just issued setlocale() calls to do that, but that
has major problems if we're in a threaded application. setlocale()
itself is not required by POSIX to be thread-safe (and indeed is not,
on recent OpenBSD). Moreover, its effects are process-wide, so that
we could cause unexpected results in other threads, or another thread
could change our setting.
On platforms having uselocale(), which is required by POSIX:2008,
we can avoid these problems by using uselocale() instead. Windows
goes its own way as usual, but we can make it safe by using
_configthreadlocale(). Platforms having neither continue to use the
old code, but that should be pretty much nobody among current systems.
This should get back-patched, but let's see what the buildfarm
thinks of it first.

This should reduce confusion, and in particular make it safe to
copy typename.c into preproc/ and compile it there.
This doesn't affect anything outside ecpg, and particularly not
end users, because these files don't get installed; they just
exist to share declarations among the .c files of each subdirectory.
