Tom Lane 6317609986 Add control knobs for plpgsql's variable resolution behavior, and make the ...

default be "throw error on conflict", as per discussions.  The GUC variable
is plpgsql.variable_conflict, with values "error", "use_variable",
"use_column".  The behavior can also be specified per-function by inserting
one of
	#variable_conflict error
	#variable_conflict use_variable
	#variable_conflict use_column
at the start of the function body.

The 8.5 release notes will need to mention using "use_variable" to retain
backward-compatible behavior, although we should encourage people to migrate
to the much less mistake-prone "error" setting.

Update the plpgsql documentation to match this and other recent changes.
