e9c03c3b1b Disallow the combination VACUUM FULL FREEZE for safety's sake, for the
reasons I outlined in pghackers a few days ago.

Also, undo someone's overly optimistic decision to reduce tuple state
checks from if (...) elog() to Asserts.  If I trusted this code more,
I might think it was a good idea to disable these checks in production
installations.  But I don't.

8408f65252 Rework libpq threaded SIGPIPE handling to avoid interference with
calling applications.  This is done by blocking sigpipe in the libpq
thread and using sigpending/sigwait to possibily discard any sigpipe we
generated.

64b5789497 This is a little patch to correct the documentation on CVS. The URL for
downloading CVS at cyclic.com site is long defunct, and I changed the text
to not overtly recommend CVS 1.10, a now fairly old version.

5374d097de Change planner to use the current true disk file size as its estimate of
a relation's number of blocks, rather than the possibly-obsolete value
in pg_class.relpages.  Scale the value in pg_class.reltuples correspondingly
to arrive at a hopefully more accurate number of rows.  When pg_class
contains 0/0, estimate a tuple width from the column datatypes and divide
that into current file size to estimate number of rows.  This improved
methodology allows us to jettison the ancient hacks that put bogus default
values into pg_class when a table is first created.  Also, per a suggestion
from Simon, make VACUUM (but not VACUUM FULL or ANALYZE) adjust the value
it puts into pg_class.reltuples to try to represent the mean tuple density
instead of the minimal density that actually prevails just after VACUUM.
These changes alter the plans selected for certain regression tests, so
update the expected files accordingly.  (I removed join_1.out because
it's not clear if it still applies; we can add back any variant versions
as they are shown to be needed.)

35f4994133 Fix plperl and pltcl error handling per my previous proposal. SPI
operations are now run as subtransactions, so that errors in them
can be reported as ordinary Perl or Tcl errors and caught by the
normal error handling convention of those languages.  Also do some
minor code cleanup in pltcl.c: extract a large chunk of duplicated
code in pltcl_SPI_execute and pltcl_SPI_execute_plan into a shared
subroutine.
