First cut at 8.3 release notes. SGML markup is nonexistent, and

the 'overview' and 'incompatibilities' summary lists remain to be
written. But I think all the raw info is there (indeed maybe too
verbose).

Add an extra header byte to TOAST-pointer datums to represent their size
...
explicitly. This means a TOAST pointer takes 18 bytes instead of 17 --- still
smaller than in 8.2 --- which seems a good tradeoff to ensure we won't have
painted ourselves into a corner if we want to support multiple types of TOAST
pointer later on. Per discussion with Greg Stark.

Make archive recovery always start a new timeline, rather than only when a
...
recovery stop time was used. This avoids a corner-case risk of trying to
overwrite an existing archived copy of the last WAL segment, and seems
simpler and cleaner all around than the original definition. Per example
from Jon Colverson and subsequent analysis by Simon.

Change initdb and CREATE DATABASE to actively reject attempts to create
...
databases with encodings that are incompatible with the server's LC_CTYPE
locale, when we can determine that (which we can on most modern platforms,
I believe). C/POSIX locale is compatible with all encodings, of course,
so there is still some usefulness to CREATE DATABASE's ENCODING option,
but this will insulate us against all sorts of recurring complaints
caused by mismatched settings.
I moved initdb's existing LC_CTYPE-to-encoding mapping knowledge into
a new src/port/ file so it could be shared by CREATE DATABASE.

Minor improvements in backup and recovery:
...
- create a separate archive_mode GUC, on which archive_command is dependent
- %r option in recovery.conf sends last restartpoint to recovery command
- %r used in pg_standby, updated README
- minor other code cleanup in pg_standby
- doc on Warm Standby now mentions pg_standby and %r
- log_restartpoints recovery option emits LOG message at each restartpoint
- end of recovery now displays last transaction end time, as requested
by Warren Little; also shown at each restartpoint
- restart archiver if needed to carry away WAL files at shutdown
