517ae4039e Code review for function default parameters patch. Fix numerous problems as

5434e46986 Add note to the shared memory sizing table about needing to use page count in 
shared_buffers and wal_buffers, not size in bytes.  Per discussion.

4da65a23e7 Code review for CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW patch. Do things in a saner order to 
result in hopefully-less-confusing error messages when the new definition
isn't compatible with the old; minor other cleanup.

65e3ea7641 Increase the default value of default_statistics_target from 10 to 100, 
and its maximum value from 1000 to 10000.  ALTER TABLE SET STATISTICS
similarly now allows a value up to 10000.  Per discussion.

17dc173660 To reduce confusion over whether VACUUM FULL is needed for anti-wraparound 
vacuuming (it's not), say "database-wide VACUUM" instead of "full-database
VACUUM" in the relevant hint messages.  Also, document the permissions needed
to do this.  Per today's discussion.

218b4e8dd8 Append major version number and for libraries soname major version number 
to the gettext domain name, to simplify parallel installations.

Also, rename set_text_domain() to pg_bindtextdomain(), because that is what
it does.

of autovacuum_max_workers parameter is.

Per discussion with Alvaro.

3f936aacc0 Add a "LIKE = typename" clause to CREATE TYPE for base types. This allows 
the basic representational details (typlen, typalign, typbyval, typstorage)
to be copied from an existing type rather than listed explicitly in the
CREATE TYPE command.  The immediate reason for this is to provide a simple
solution for add-on modules that want to define types represented as int8,
float4, or float8: as of 8.4 the appropriate PASSEDBYVALUE setting is
platform-specific and so it's hard for a SQL script to know what to do.

This patch fixes the contrib/isn breakage reported by Rushabh Lathia.

e309739670 Tweak wording of DISCARD ALL description to avoid giving the impression 
that the presented list of equivalent operations is meant to be the
primary definition of what it does.  Per comment from Guillaume Smet.

8a10096440 information_schema.key_column_usage.position_in_unique_constraint was 
misdocumented as not being implemented.  In reality it has worked since
the release of 8.2.

1304f297a4 Remove PGINTERVALSTYLE from the set of special environment variables for 
libpq.  As noted by Peter, adding this variable created a risk of unexpected
connection failures when talking to older server versions, and since it
doesn't do anything you can't do with PGOPTIONS, it doesn't seem really
necessary.  Removing it does occasion a few extra lines in pg_regress.c,
but saving a getenv() call per libpq connection attempt is perhaps worth
that anyway.

0884acbcab Move FAQ_AIX information to installation instructions. 
The information on why the shared libraries are built the way they are
was not relevant to end users and has been made a mailing list archive
link in Makefile.shlib.

47d6d641dd Include the platform "FAQs" into the installation instructions. 
I weeded out some really old information along the way.
FAQ_AIX needs separate consideration and will be dealt with later.
