8d363727f4 Fix very broken clean.bat for msvc install. The way we used subroutines 
in .bat simply did not work, and it called them in the wrong order,
some several times, and some not at all. So this unrolls all subroutine
calls.

This should fix the issues with clean deleting the wrong files reported
by Dave Page.

While at it, add the "clean dist" option to act like "make distclean",
and no longer remove the flex/bison output files by default. This shuold
fix the problem reported by Pavel Golub in bug #3909.

73d9544e27 Remove the old table of "supported platforms" in favor of a link to the 
buildfarm plus a narrative description of the CPU types and operating systems
on which Postgres is likely to work.  Now that we've almost completely
decoupled CPU and OS considerations, the former tabular style isn't all that
enlightening anyway.  Perhaps more importantly, no one seems particularly
interested in maintaining the table by hand when we have the buildfarm.

7c15b10a9a Improve pg_autovacuum documentation to clarify that the enabled field cannot 
prevent anti-wraparound vacuuming, and to caution against setting unreasonably
small values of freeze_max_age.  Also put in a notice that this catalog is
likely to disappear entirely in some future release.  Per discussion of
bug #3898 from Steven Flatt.

47df4f6688 Add a GUC variable "synchronize_seqscans" to allow clients to disable the new 
synchronized-scanning behavior, and make pg_dump disable sync scans so that
it will reliably preserve row ordering.  Per recent discussions.

0153c4c466 Be less wishy-washy in the documentation and comments about whether a 
ParameterStatus message can be sent during COPY OUT: it's definitely
possible, since COPY from a SELECT subquery can trigger any user-defined
function.

5c7671425f Fix an ancient oversight in libpq's handling of V3-protocol COPY OUT mode: 
we need to be able to swallow NOTICE messages, and potentially also
ParameterStatus messages (although the latter would be a bit weird),
without exiting COPY OUT state.  Fix it, and adjust the protocol documentation
to emphasize the need for this.  Per off-list report from Alexander Galler.
