functionality, but I still need to make another pass looking at places
that incidentally use arrays (such as ACL manipulation) to make sure they
are null-safe. Contrib needs work too.
I have not changed the behaviors that are still under discussion about
array comparison and what to do with lower bounds.

to fail to successfully build the release candidates.
However, a patch has emerged (thanks, Seneca!) that does allow it to
work, and which I'd expect to be portable (better still!).
We are still actively pursuing why it breaks, but supposing that still
remains outstanding, at least the following would allow AIX users to
better survive a build...

necessary, and be careful to refer to the right version where it is
useful to do so. This partially reverts an ill-considered search and
replace from a few months ago.

inFromCl true, meaning that they will list out as explicit RTEs if they
are in a view or rule. Update comments about inFromCl to reflect the way
it's now actually used. Per recent discussion.

PQregisterThreadLock().
I also remove the crypt() mention in the libpq threading section and
added a single sentence in the client-auth manual page under crypt().
Crypt authentication is so old now that a separate paragraph about it
seemed unwise.
I also added a comment about our use of locking around pqGetpwuid().
