This reverts commits fa2fa9955280 and 42f50cb8fa98. While the functionality that was intended to be provided by these commits is desired, the patch didn't actually solve as many of the problematic situations as we hoped, and it created a bunch of its own problems. Since we're going to require more extensive changes soon for other reasons and users have been working around these problems for a long time already, there is no point in spending effort in fixing this halfway measure. Per complaint from Tom Lane. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/21407.1484606922@sss.pgh.pa.us (Commit fa2fa9955280 had already been reverted in branches 9.5 as f858524ee4f and 9.6 as e9e44a0953, so this touches master only. Commit 42f50cb8fa98 was not present in the older branches.)
