Repositioning the tuplestore seek pointer in window_gettupleslot() turns out to be a very significant expense when the window frame is sizable and the frame end can move. To fix, introduce a tuplestore function for skipping an arbitrary number of tuples in one call, parallel to the one we introduced for tuplesort objects in commit 8d65da1f. This reduces the cost of window_gettupleslot() to O(1) if the tuplestore has not spilled to disk. As in the previous commit, I didn't try to do any real optimization of tuplestore_skiptuples for the case where the tuplestore has spilled to disk. There is probably no practical way to get the cost to less than O(N) anyway, but perhaps someone can think of something later. Also fix PersistHoldablePortal() to make use of this API now that we have it. Based on a suggestion by Dean Rasheed, though this turns out not to look much like his patch.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
