further backpatch.

6cc0e006ee Fix contrib/hstore to throw an error for keys or values that don't fit in its

fb2a0a450b information_schema.key_column_usage.position_in_unique_constraint was
misdocumented as not being implemented.  In reality it has worked since
the release of 8.2.

4b2315f493 Install a more robust solution for the problem of infinite error-processing
recursion when we are unable to convert a localized error message to the
client's encoding.  We've been over this ground before, but as reported by
Ibrar Ahmed, it still didn't work in the case of conversion failures for
the conversion-failure message itself :-(.  Fix by installing a "circuit
breaker" that disables attempts to localize this message once we get into
recursion trouble.

Patch all supported branches, because it is in fact broken in all of them;
though I had to add some missing translations to the older branches in
order to expose the failure in the particular test case I was using.

85a24f0dd9 Improve GRANT documentation to point out that UPDATE and DELETE typically
require SELECT privilege as well, since you normally need to read existing
column values within such commands.  This behavior is according to spec,
but we'd never documented it before.  Per gripe from Volkan Yazici.

d2ab94dac2 Fix LISTEN/NOTIFY race condition reported by Laurent Birtz, by postponing
pg_listener modifications commanded by LISTEN and UNLISTEN until the end
of the current transaction.  This allows us to hold the ExclusiveLock on
pg_listener until after commit, with no greater risk of deadlock than there
was before.  Aside from fixing the race condition, this gets rid of a
truly ugly kludge that was there before, namely having to ignore
HeapTupleBeingUpdated failures during NOTIFY.  There is a small potential
incompatibility, which is that if a transaction issues LISTEN or UNLISTEN
and then looks into pg_listener before committing, it won't see any resulting
row insertion or deletion, where before it would have.  It seems unlikely
that anyone would be depending on that, though.

This patch also disallows LISTEN and UNLISTEN inside a prepared transaction.
That case had some pretty undesirable properties already, such as possibly
allowing pg_listener entries to be made for PIDs no longer present, so
disallowing it seems like a better idea than trying to maintain the behavior.
