e3afbb3504 Allow binary-coercible types for cast function arguments and return types. 
Document return type of cast functions.

Also change documentation to prefer the term "binary coercible" in its
present sense instead of the previous term "binary compatible".

7a97abe818 Add unchangeable GUC "variables" segment_size, wal_block_size, and 
wal_segment_size to make those configuration parameters available to clients,
in the same way that block_size was previously exposed.  Bernd Helmle, with
comments from Abhijit Menon-Sen and some further tweaking by me.

995fb74202 Turn PGBE_ACTIVITY_SIZE into a GUC variable, track_activity_query_size. 
As the buffer could now be a lot larger than before, and copying it could
thus be a lot more expensive than before, use strcpy instead of memcpy to
copy the query string, as was already suggested in comments. Also, only copy
the PgBackendStatus struct and string if the slot is in use.

Patch by Thomas Lee, with some changes by me.

9dac1b460f Rewrite docs section about routine vacuuming --- it's gotten rather mangled of 
late, with lots of redundancy, bad grammar, and just plain poor exposition.
Make it clear that autovacuum is now considered the normal solution.

a0b012a1ab Rearrange ALTER TABLE syntax processing as per my recent proposal: the 
grammar allows ALTER TABLE/INDEX/SEQUENCE/VIEW interchangeably for all
subforms of those commands, and then we sort out what's really legal
at execution time.  This allows the ALTER SEQUENCE/VIEW reference pages
to fully document all the ALTER forms available for sequences and views
respectively, and eliminates a longstanding cause of confusion for users.

The net effect is that the following forms are allowed that weren't before:
	ALTER SEQUENCE OWNER TO
	ALTER VIEW ALTER COLUMN SET/DROP DEFAULT
	ALTER VIEW OWNER TO
	ALTER VIEW SET SCHEMA
(There's no actual functionality gain here, but formerly you had to say
ALTER TABLE instead.)

Interestingly, the grammar tables actually get smaller, probably because
there are fewer special cases to keep track of.

I did not disallow using ALTER TABLE for these operations.  Perhaps we
should, but there's a backwards-compatibility issue if we do; in fact
it would break existing pg_dump scripts.  I did however tighten up
ALTER SEQUENCE and ALTER VIEW to reject non-sequences and non-views
in the new cases as well as a couple of cases where they didn't before.

The patch doesn't change pg_dump to use the new syntaxes, either.

bf4bd50ff7 Copy refint.so and autoinc.so into the src/test/regress directory during 
"make all", and then reference them there during the actual tests.  This
makes the handling of these files more parallel to that of regress.so,
and in particular simplifies use of the regression tests outside the
original build tree.  The PGDG and Red Hat RPMs have been doing this via
patches for a very long time.  Inclusion of the change in core was requested
by Jørgen Austvik of Sun, and I can't see any reason not to.

I attempted to fix the MSVC scripts for this too, but they may need
further tweaking ...
