Since the replication protocol deals with TimestampTz, we need to
care for the floating point case as well in the frontend tools.

The initial implementation of pg_dump's --section option supposed that the
existing --schema-only and --data-only options could be made equivalent to
--section settings. This is wrong, though, due to dubious but long since
set-in-stone decisions about where to dump SEQUENCE SET items, as seen in
bug report from Martin Pitt. (And I'm not totally convinced there weren't
other bugs, either.) Undo that coupling and instead drive --section
filtering off current-section state tracked as we scan through the TOC
list to call _tocEntryRequired().
To make sure those decisions don't shift around and hopefully save a few
cycles, run _tocEntryRequired() only once per TOC entry and save the result
in a new TOC field. This required minor rejiggering of ACL handling but
also allows a far cleaner implementation of inhibit_data_for_failed_table.
Also, to ensure that pg_dump and pg_restore have the same behavior with
respect to the --section switches, add _tocEntryRequired() filtering to
WriteToc() and WriteDataChunks(), rather than trying to implement section
filtering in an entirely orthogonal way in dumpDumpableObject(). This
required adjusting the handling of the special ENCODING and STDSTRINGS
items, but they were pretty weird before anyway.
Minor other code review for the patch, too.
Drop special handling of host component with slashes to mean
Unix-domain socket. Specify it as separate parameter or using
percent-encoding now.
Allow omitting username, password, and port even if the corresponding
designators are present in URI.
Handle percent-encoding in query parameter keywords.

some documentation improvements by myself
Per discussion, we should explain that we follow RFC 3339 and not really
the letter of the ISO 8601 spec for timestamp output format. Mostly
Brendan Jurd's wording, though I tweaked it to clarify that we do take 'T'
on input. Minor additional copy-editing and markup-tweaking, too.
initdb: Add -T option
oid2name: Put options in some non-random order
pg_dump: Put --section option in the right place
And some additional markup and terminology improvements.
Since we've got an "open items" list item about this, apparently some
people are pretty worried about it.
In passing remove a lot of trailing whitespace.
This example was quite old: it lacked the WAL writer and autovac launcher
as well as the more recently added checkpointer. Linux "ps" seems to show
slightly different stuff now too.
We previously recognized that citext wouldn't get marked as collatable
during pg_upgrade from a pre-9.1 installation, and hacked its
create-from-unpackaged script to manually perform the necessary catalog
adjustments. However, we overlooked the fact that domains over citext,
as well as the citext[] array type, need the same adjustments. Extend
the script to handle those cases.
Also, the documentation suggested that this was only an issue in pg_upgrade
scenarios, which is quite wrong; loading any dump containing citext from a
pre-9.1 server will also result in the type being wrongly marked.
I approached the documentation problem by changing the 9.1.2 release note
paragraphs about this issue, which is historically inaccurate. But it
seems better than having the information scattered in multiple places, and
leaving incorrect info in the 9.1.2 notes would be bad anyway. We'll still
need to mention the issue again in the 9.1.4 notes, but perhaps they can
just reference 9.1.2 for fix instructions.
Per report from Evan Carroll. Back-patch into 9.1.
Rewrite description of "include_if_exists" for clarity. Add subsection
headings to make the structure of the page a little clearer. A couple
other minor improvements too.

HEAD documentation was failing to build as US PDF for me, because a link
to "CREATE CAST" was getting split across pages. Adjust wording to
remove this rather gratuitous cross-reference.
It was already on its last legs, and it turns out that it was
accidentally broken in commit 89e850e6fd
and no one cared. So remove the rest the support for it and update
the documentation to indicate that Python 2.3 is now required.
