Bruce Momjian e7ca867485 Try to reduce confusion about what is a lock method identifier, a lock
method control structure, or a table of control structures.

. Use type LOCKMASK where an int is not a counter.

. Get rid of INVALID_TABLEID, use INVALID_LOCKMETHOD instead.

. Use INVALID_LOCKMETHOD instead of (LOCKMETHOD) NULL, because
  LOCKMETHOD is not a pointer.

. Define and use macro LockMethodIsValid.

. Rename LOCKMETHOD to LOCKMETHODID.

. Remove global variable LongTermTableId in lmgr.c, because it is
  never used.

. Make LockTableId static in lmgr.c, because it is used nowhere else.
  Why not remove it and use DEFAULT_LOCKMETHOD?

. Rename the lock method control structure from LOCKMETHODTABLE to
  LockMethodData.  Introduce a pointer type named LockMethod.

. Remove elog(FATAL) after InitLockTable() call in
  CreateSharedMemoryAndSemaphores(), because if something goes wrong,
  there is elog(FATAL) in LockMethodTableInit(), and if this doesn't
  help, an elog(ERROR) in InitLockTable() is promoted to FATAL.

. Make InitLockTable() void, because its only caller does not use its
  return value any more.

. Rename variables in lock.c to avoid statements like
        LockMethodTable[NumLockMethods] = lockMethodTable;
        lockMethodTable = LockMethodTable[lockmethod];

. Change LOCKMETHODID type to uint16 to fit into struct LOCKTAG.

. Remove static variables BITS_OFF and BITS_ON from lock.c, because
  I agree to this doubt:
 * XXX is a fetch from a static array really faster than a shift?

. Define and use macros LOCKBIT_ON/OFF.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

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 several language
bindings, including C, Perl, Python, and Tcl, as well as a JDBC
driver.

The ODBC and C++ interfaces have been moved to the PostgreSQL Projects
Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate maintenance.

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.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  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.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/.  For more information look at our web
site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
