Repair subtle VACUUM bug that led to 'HEAP_MOVED_IN was not expected'
errors.  VACUUM normally compacts the table back-to-front, and stops
as soon as it gets to a page that it has moved some tuples onto.
(This logic doesn't make for a complete packing of the table, but it
should be pretty close.)  But the way it was checking whether it had
got to a page with some moved-in tuples was to look at whether the
current page was the same as the last page of the list of pages that
have enough free space to be move-in targets.  And there was other
code that would remove pages from that list once they got full.
There was a kluge that prevented the last list entry from being
removed, but it didn't get the job done.  Fixed by keeping a separate
variable that contains the largest block number into which a tuple
has been moved.  There's no longer any need to protect the last element

elog() was set up to call abort() if it saw an ERROR or FATAL exit
during InitProcessingMode and the CurrentTransactionState was neither
TRANS_DEFAULT nor TRANS_DISABLED.  Unfortunately, after someone's recent

to be started, that caused an abort() and consequent database system

useless anyway, so I've removed it.

I finally got around to schlepping through pg_dump, to finish what I started
about three months (or more) ago.  Attached is a gzipped diff file to apply
in the bin/pg_dump directory.  This should remove all string length
dependencies, except one, which I'm working on.  It has been through some
rudimentary unit testing, but that's about it, so if any of you would give
it a more strenuous run-through, I'd be grateful for the feedback.

Cheers...

untyped string constants) until the parser can deduce the right type.
