uses SPI plans, this finally fixes the ancient gotcha that you can't
drop and recreate a temp table used by a plpgsql function.
Along the way, clean up SPI's API a little bit by declaring SPI plan
pointers as "SPIPlanPtr" instead of "void *". This is cosmetic but
helps to forestall simple programming mistakes. (I have changed some
but not all of the callers to match; there are still some "void *"'s
in contrib and the PL's. This is intentional so that we can see if
anyone's compiler complains about it.)
fixup various places in the tree that were clearing a StringInfo by hand.
Making this function a part of the API simplifies client code slightly,
and avoids needlessly peeking inside the StringInfo interface.
Get rid of VARATT_SIZE and VARATT_DATA, which were simply redundant with
VARSIZE and VARDATA, and as a consequence almost no code was using the
longer names. Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various
derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly;
and clean up various places so caught. In itself this patch doesn't
change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope
to play any games with the representation of varlena headers.

observe the xmloption.
Reorganize the representation of the XML option in the parse tree and the
API to make it easier to manage and understand.
Add regression tests for parsing back XML expressions.
- Add new SQL command SET XML OPTION (also available via regular GUC) to
control the DOCUMENT vs. CONTENT option in implicit parsing and
serialization operations.
- Subtle corrections in the handling of the standalone property in
xmlroot().
- Allow xmlroot() to work on content fragments.
- Subtle corrections in the handling of the version property in
xmlconcat().
- Code refactoring for producing XML declarations.
sets the items, and serializes the value back (rather than adding an
arbitrary number of XML preambles as before).
The libxml memory management via palloc had to be disabled because it
crashes when libxml tries to access memory that was helpfully freed
earlier by PostgreSQL. This needs further thought.
Use a TRY block instead of (inadequate) ad-hoc coding to ensure that
libxml is cleaned up after a failure. Report the intended SQLCODE
instead of defaulting to XX000. Avoid risking use of a dangling
pointer by keeping the persistent error buffer in TopMemoryContext.
Be less trusting that error messages don't contain %.
This patch doesn't do anything about changing the way the messages
are put together --- this is just about mechanism.
bletcherous and unsafe manipulation of global encoding setting.
Clean up libxml reporting mechanism a bit (it still looks like a
dangling-pointer crash waiting to happen, though, not to mention
being far less than sane from a localization standpoint).
the XmlExpr code in various lists, use a representation that has some hope
of reverse-listing correctly (though it's still a de-escaping function
shy of correctness), generally try to make it look more like Postgres
coding conventions.
