 * NOTES
 *		Transaction aborts can now occur two ways:
 *
 *		1)	system dies from some internal cause  (Assert, etc..)
 *		2)	user types abort
 *
 *		These two cases used to be treated identically, but now
 *		we need to distinguish them.  Why?	consider the following
 *		two situatuons:
 *
 *				case 1							case 2
 *				------							------
 *		1) user types BEGIN				1) user types BEGIN
 *		2) user does something			2) user does something
 *		3) user does not like what		3) system aborts for some reason
 *		   she shes and types ABORT
 *
 *		In case 1, we want to abort the transaction and return to the
 *		default state.	In case 2, there may be more commands coming
 *		our way which are part of the same transaction block and we have
 *		to ignore these commands until we see an END transaction.
 *		(or an ABORT! --djm)
 *
 *		Internal aborts are now handled by AbortTransactionBlock(), just as
 *		they always have been, and user aborts are now handled by
 *		UserAbortTransactionBlock().  Both of them rely on AbortTransaction()
 *		to do all the real work.  The only difference is what state we
 *		enter after AbortTransaction() does it's work:
 *
 *		* AbortTransactionBlock() leaves us in TBLOCK_ABORT and
 *		* UserAbortTransactionBlock() leaves us in TBLOCK_ENDABORT
 *
 *	 NOTES
 *		This file is an attempt at a redesign of the upper layer
 *		of the V1 transaction system which was too poorly thought
 *		out to describe.  This new system hopes to be both simpler
 *		in design, simpler to extend and needs to contain added
 *		functionality to solve problems beyond the scope of the V1
 *		system.  (In particuler, communication of transaction
 *		information between parallel backends has to be supported)
 *
 *		The essential aspects of the transaction system are:
 *
 *				o  transaction id generation
 *				o  transaction log updating
 *				o  memory cleanup
 *				o  cache invalidation
 *				o  lock cleanup
 *
 *		Hence, the functional division of the transaction code is
 *		based on what of the above things need to be done during
 *		a start/commit/abort transaction.  For instance, the
 *		routine AtCommit_Memory() takes care of all the memory
 *		cleanup stuff done at commit time.
 *
 *		The code is layered as follows:
 *
 *				StartTransaction
 *				CommitTransaction
 *				AbortTransaction
 *				UserAbortTransaction
 *
 *		are provided to do the lower level work like recording
 *		the transaction status in the log and doing memory cleanup.
 *		above these routines are another set of functions:
 *
 *				StartTransactionCommand
 *				CommitTransactionCommand
 *				AbortCurrentTransaction
 *
 *		These are the routines used in the postgres main processing
 *		loop.  They are sensitive to the current transaction block state
 *		and make calls to the lower level routines appropriately.
 *
 *		Support for transaction blocks is provided via the functions:
 *
 *				StartTransactionBlock
 *				CommitTransactionBlock
 *				AbortTransactionBlock
 *
 *		These are invoked only in responce to a user "BEGIN", "END",
 *		or "ABORT" command.  The tricky part about these functions
 *		is that they are called within the postgres main loop, in between
 *		the StartTransactionCommand() and CommitTransactionCommand().
 *
 *		For example, consider the following sequence of user commands:
 *
 *		1)		begin
 *		2)		retrieve (foo.all)
 *		3)		append foo (bar = baz)
 *		4)		end
 *
 *		in the main processing loop, this results in the following
 *		transaction sequence:
 *
 *			/	StartTransactionCommand();
 *		1) /	ProcessUtility();				<< begin
 *		   \		StartTransactionBlock();
 *			\	CommitTransactionCommand();
 *
 *			/	StartTransactionCommand();
 *		2) <	ProcessQuery();					<< retrieve (foo.all)
 *			\	CommitTransactionCommand();
 *
 *			/	StartTransactionCommand();
 *		3) <	ProcessQuery();					<< append foo (bar = baz)
 *			\	CommitTransactionCommand();
 *
 *			/	StartTransactionCommand();
 *		4) /	ProcessUtility();				<< end
 *		   \		CommitTransactionBlock();
 *			\	CommitTransactionCommand();
 *
 *		The point of this example is to demonstrate the need for
 *		StartTransactionCommand() and CommitTransactionCommand() to
 *		be state smart -- they should do nothing in between the calls
 *		to StartTransactionBlock() and EndTransactionBlock() and
 *		outside these calls they need to do normal start/commit
 *		processing.
 *
 *		Furthermore, suppose the "retrieve (foo.all)" caused an abort
 *		condition.	We would then want to abort the transaction and
 *		ignore all subsequent commands up to the "end".
