Having the script prompt for passwords over and over was a preexisting
problem when it processed multiple databases or when it processed
multiple analyze stages, but the parallel mode introduced in commit
a179232047 made it worse.
Fix the annoyance by keeping a copy of the password used by the first
connection that requires one. Since users can (currently) only have a
single password, there's no need for more complex arrangements (such as
remembering one password per database).

Backpatch to 9.5, where parallel vacuumdb was introduced.
This results in spurious empty lines in the server log. Instead, add
the newlines only when printing out the --echo output. In some cases,
this was already done, leading to two newlines being printed. Clean
that up as well.

Before, some places didn't document the short options (-? and -V),
some documented both, some documented nothing, and they were listed in
various orders. Now this is hopefully more consistent and complete.
Do not prompt when options were not specified. Assume --no-createdb,
--no-createrole, --no-superuser by default.
Also disable prompting for user name in dropdb, unless --interactive
was specified.

If unable to connect to "postgres", try "template1". This allows things to
work more smoothly in the case where the postgres database has been
dropped. And just in case that's not good enough, also allow the user to
specify a maintenance database to be used for the initial connection, to
cover the case where neither postgres nor template1 is suitable.
(Possibly release notes material, lest users be confused.)
The --quiet option is now obsolete and without effect in createdb,
createuser, dropdb, dropuser; kept for compatibility but marked for
removal in 8.4.
Progress messages when acting on all databases now go to stdout instead
of stderr, since they are not in fact errors.
Ordered options in reindexdb reference page alphabetically, like in
other programs' pages.
(possibly (un)translated) letters that are actually expected as input.
Also reject invalid responses instead of silenty taken them as "no".

unlike template0 and template1 does not have any special status in
terms of backend functionality. However, all external utilities such
as createuser and createdb now connect to "postgres" instead of
template1, and the documentation is changed to encourage people to use
"postgres" instead of template1 as a play area. This should fix some
longstanding gotchas involving unexpected propagation of database
objects by createdb (when you used template1 without understanding
the implications), as well as ameliorating the problem that CREATE
DATABASE is unhappy if anyone else is connected to template1.

pghackers discussions.
Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...
environment variable processing to libpq.
The patch also adds code to our client apps so we set the environment
variable directly based on our binary location, unless it is already
set. This will allow our applications to emit proper locale messages
that are generated in libpq.
find_my_exec/find_other_exec(). Remove passing of progname to these
functions as they can find that out from argv[0], which they already
have.
Make get_progname return const char *, and update all progname variables
to be const char *.
only remnant of this failed experiment is that the server will take
SET AUTOCOMMIT TO ON. Still TODO: provide some client-side autocommit
logic in libpq.
