objects are specified, we drop them all in a single performMultipleDeletions
call. This makes the RESTRICT/CASCADE checks more relaxed: it's not counted
as a cascade if one of the later objects has a dependency on an earlier one.
NOTICE messages about such cases go away, too.
In passing, fix the permissions check for DROP CONVERSION, which for some
reason was never made role-aware, and omitted the namespace-owner exemption
too.

module and teach PREPARE and protocol-level prepared statements to use it.
In service of this, rearrange utility-statement processing so that parse
analysis does not assume table schemas can't change before execution for
utility statements (necessary because we don't attempt to re-acquire locks
for utility statements when reusing a stored plan). This requires some
refactoring of the ProcessUtility API, but it ends up cleaner anyway,
for instance we can get rid of the QueryContext global.
Still to do: fix up SPI and related code to use the plan cache; I'm tempted to
try to make SQL functions use it too. Also, there are at least some aspects
of system state that we want to ensure remain the same during a replan as in
the original processing; search_path certainly ought to behave that way for
instance, and perhaps there are others.

Also, fix error in description of WITH CHECK OPTION clause in the CREATE
VIEW reference page: it should be "CASCADED", not "CASCADE".
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 ...
RESTRICT/CASCADE syntax to the DROP commands that need it, and propagates
the behavioral option through the parser to the routines that execute
drops. Doesn't do anything useful yet, but I figured I'd commit these
changes so I could get out of the parser area while working on the rest.
