Remove conditionally-compiled code for the other case. Replace uses of FLOAT8PASSBYVAL with constant "true", mainly because it was quite confusing in cases where the type we were dealing with wasn't float8. I left the associated pg_control and Pg_magic_struct fields in place. Perhaps we should get rid of them, but it would save little, so it doesn't seem worth thinking hard about the compatibility implications. I just labeled them "vestigial" in places where that seemed helpful.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree --------------------------- This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their usefulness. User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML documentation. When building from the source distribution, these modules are not built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected module, do the same in that module's subdirectory. Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database, you can simply do CREATE EXTENSION module_name; See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this procedure.
