022fd99668 Fix up some problems in handling of zic-style time zone names in datetime
input routines.  Remove the former "DecodePosixTimezone" function in favor of
letting the zic code handle POSIX-style zone specs (see tzparse()).  In
particular this means that "PST+3" now means the same as "-03", whereas it
used to mean "-11" --- the zone abbreviation is effectively just a noise word
in this syntax.  Make sure that all named and POSIX-style zone names will be
parsed as a single token.  Fix long-standing bogosities in printing and input
of fractional-hour timezone offsets (since the tzparse() code will accept
these, we'd better make 'em work).  Also correct an error in the original
coding of the zic-zone-name patch: in "timestamp without time zone" input,
zone names are supposed to be allowed but ignored, but the coding was such
that the zone changed the interpretation anyway.

0b35b01e7a Arrange for timezone names to be recognized case-insensitively; for
example SET TIME ZONE 'america/new_york' works now.  This seems a good
idea on general user-friendliness grounds, and is part of the solution
to the timestamp-input parsing problems I noted recently.

Also cut back on excessive use of *** to decorate configure error messages.
If it's an error message, you are sure to see it without any decoration.

e0dece127d Redesign the patch for allocation of shmem space and LWLocks for add-on
modules; the first try was not usable in EXEC_BACKEND builds (e.g.,
Windows).  Instead, just provide some entry points to increase the
allocation requests during postmaster start, and provide a dedicated
LWLock that can be used to synchronize allocation operations performed
by backends.  Per discussion with Marc Munro.

1314983fd3 Code review for --no-data-for-failed-tables patch. Instead of trashing
one of the program's core data structures, make use of the existing
ability to selectively exclude TOC items by ID.  Slightly more code but
much less likely to create future maintenance problems.

47df6e7e2d Fix infinite sleep and failes of send in Win32.
1) pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket(): WaitForMultipleObjectsEx now called with
finite timeout (100ms) in case of FP_WRITE and UDP socket. If timeout occurs
then pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket() tries to write empty packet goes to
WaitForMultipleObjectsEx again.

2) pgwin32_send(): add loop around WSASend and pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket().
The reason is: for overlapped socket, 'ok' result from
pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket() isn't guarantee that socket is still free,
it can become busy again and following WSASend call will fail with
WSAEWOULDBLOCK error.

d2e17e1ddc Fix mishandling of after-trigger state when a SQL function returns multiple
rows --- if the surrounding query queued any trigger events between the rows,
the events would be fired at the wrong time, leading to bizarre behavior.
Per report from Merlin Moncure.

This is a simple patch that should solve the problem fully in the back
branches, but in HEAD we also need to consider the possibility of queries
with RETURNING clauses.  Will look into a fix for that separately.

772c5ba31f Repair incorrect check for coercion of unknown literal to ANYARRAY, a bug
I introduced in 7.4.1 :-(.  It's correct to allow unknown to be coerced to
ANY or ANYELEMENT, since it's a real-enough data type, but it most certainly
isn't an array datatype.  This can cause a backend crash but AFAICT is not
exploitable as a security hole.  Per report from Michael Fuhr.

Note: as fixed in HEAD, this changes a constant in the pg_stats view,
resulting in a change in the expected regression outputs.  The back-branch
patches have been hacked to avoid that, so that pre-existing installations
won't start failing their regression tests.

24e9752863 Revise psql pattern-matching switches as per discussion. The rule is now
to process all inclusion switches then all exclusion switches, so that the
behavior is independent of switch ordering.
Use of -T does not cause non-table objects to be suppressed.  And
the patterns are now interpreted the same way psql's \d commands do it,
rather than as pure regex commands; this allows for example -t schema.tab
to do what it should have been doing all along.  Re-enable the --blobs
switch to do something useful, ie, add back blobs into a dump they were
otherwise suppressed from.

39ed8c4049 Move processNamePattern into dumputils.c in preparation for using it in
pg_dump as well as psql.  Since psql already uses dumputils.c, while there's
not any code sharing in the other direction, this seems the easiest way.
Also, fix misinterpretation of patterns using regex | by adding parentheses
(same bug found previously in similar_escape()).  This should be backpatched.
