Fix an oversight in the support for storing/retrieving "minimal tuples" in
TupleTableSlots. We have functions for retrieving a minimal tuple from a slot
after storing a regular tuple in it, or vice versa; but these were implemented
by converting the internal storage from one format to the other. The problem
with that is it invalidates any pass-by-reference Datums that were already
fetched from the slot, since they'll be pointing into the just-freed version
of the tuple. The known problem cases involve fetching both a whole-row
variable and a pass-by-reference value from a slot that is fed from a
tuplestore or tuplesort object. The added regression tests illustrate some
simple cases, but there may be other failure scenarios traceable to the same
bug. Note that the added tests probably only fail on unpatched code if it's
built with --enable-cassert; otherwise the bug leads to fetching from freed
memory, which will not have been overwritten without additional conditions.
Fix by allowing a slot to contain both formats simultaneously; which turns out
not to complicate the logic much at all, if anything it seems less contorted
than before.

should be charged as part of the time needed for the extension operation.
(This makes it slightly harder to match the read_start with the associated
read_done, since now you can't match them on blockNumber, but it should still
be possible since isExtend operations on the same relation can never be
interleaved.) Per recent discussion.
In passing, add the page identity (forkNum/blockNum) to the parameters of the
buffer_flush_start/buffer_flush_done probes, which were unaccountably lacking
the info.

Clean up pg_SSPI_error() coding a little bit: make the messages more
consistent, translate where intended, const-ify declarations.
Resolves a gripe from Alvaro as well as some stuff I didn't like.

Remove the -d and -D options of pg_dump and pg_dumpall. The functionality
is still available, but you must now write the long equivalent --inserts
or --column-inserts. This change is made to eliminate confusion with the
use of -d to specify a database name in most other Postgres client programs.

Remove the datetime keywords ABSTIME and RELTIME, which we'd been treating as
noise words for the last twelve years, for compatibility with Berkeley-era
output formatting of the special INVALID values for those datatypes.
Considering that the datatypes themselves have been deprecated for awhile,
this is taking backwards compatibility a little far. Per gripe from Josh
Berkus.

Optimize multi-batch hash joins when the outer relation has a nonuniform
distribution, by creating a special fast path for the (first few) most common
values of the outer relation. Tuples having hashvalues matching the MCVs
are effectively forced to be in the first batch, so that we never write
them out to the batch temp files.
