Add restart_after_crash GUC.
Normally, we automatically restart after a backend crash, but in some
cases when PostgreSQL is invoked by clusterware it may be desirable to
suppress this behavior, so we provide an option which does this.
Since no existing GUC group quite fits, create a new group called
"error handling options" for this and the previously undocumented GUC
exit_on_error, which is now documented.

Behave correctly if INSERT ... VALUES is decorated with additional clauses.
In versions 8.2 and up, the grammar allows attaching ORDER BY, LIMIT,
FOR UPDATE, or WITH to VALUES, and hence to INSERT ... VALUES. But the
special-case code for VALUES in transformInsertStmt() wasn't expecting any

Use a separate interpreter for each calling SQL userid in plperl and pltcl.
There are numerous methods by which a Perl or Tcl function can subvert
the behavior of another such function executed later; for example, by
redefining standard functions or operators called by the target function.
If the target function is SECURITY DEFINER, or is called by such a
function, this means that any ordinary SQL user with Perl or Tcl language
usage rights can do essentially anything with the privileges of the target
function's owner.
To close this security hole, create a separate Perl or Tcl interpreter for
each SQL userid under which plperl or pltcl functions are executed within
a session. However, all plperlu or pltclu functions run within a session
still share a single interpreter, since they all execute at the trust
level of a database superuser anyway.
Note: this change results in a functionality loss when libperl has been
built without the "multiplicity" option: it's no longer possible to call
plperl functions under different userids in one session, since such a
libperl can't support multiple interpreters in one process. However, such
a libperl already failed to support concurrent use of plperl and plperlu,
so it's likely that few people use such versions with Postgres.

Also fix another problem that happened to be exposed by this test case,

a pushed-down constant false, then the relation is empty even if it's an

The new coding decouples relcache and typcache management, which is a good

The original motivation for PANIC here was to capture core dumps for
subsequent analysis. But with so many users whose platforms don't capture
core dumps by default, or who are unprepared to analyze them anyway, it's hard
to justify a forced database restart when we can fairly easily detect the
problems before we've reached the critical sections where PANIC would be
necessary. It is not currently known whether the reports of these messages
indicate well-hidden bugs in Postgres, or are a result of storage-level
malfeasance; the latter possibility suggests that we ought to try to be more
robust even if there is a bug here that's ultimately found.
Backpatch to 8.2. The code before that is sufficiently different that
it doesn't seem worth the trouble to back-port further.

Fix ExecMakeTableFunctionResult to verify that all rows returned by a SRF
returning "record" actually do have the same rowtype. This is needed because
the parser can't realistically enforce that they will all have the same typmod,
as seen in a recent example from David Wheeler.
Back-patch to 8.0, which is as far back as we have the notion of RECORD
subtypes being distinguished by typmod. Wheeler's example depends on
8.4-and-up features, but I suspect there may be ways to provoke similar
failures before 8.4.

Don't auto-create the subdirectories holding built documentation in a VPATH
build tree. If we actually build the docs in the VPATH tree, those dirs
will get created then; but if they're present and empty, they capture the
vpathsearch searches in "make install", preventing installation of prebuilt
docs that might exist in the source tree. Per bug #5595 from Dmtiriy Igrishin.

Improve hint message for ENOMEM failure from shmget().
It turns out that some platforms return ENOMEM for a request that violates
SHMALL, whereas we were assuming that ENOSPC would always be used for that.
Apparently the latter is a Linuxism while ENOMEM is the BSD tradition.
Extend the ENOMEM hint to suggest that raising SHMALL might be needed.
Per gripe from A.M.
Backpatch to 9.0, but not further, because this doesn't seem important
enough to warrant creating extra translation work in the stable branches.
