    Re-implement division for numeric values using the traditional "schoolbook" · a0fad976

    algorithm.  This is a good deal slower than our old roundoff-error-prone
    code for long inputs, so we keep the old code for use in the transcendental
    functions, where everything is approximate anyway.  Also create a
    user-accessible function div(numeric, numeric) to provide access to the
    exact result of trunc(x/y) --- since the regular numeric / operator will
    round off its result, simply computing that expression in SQL doesn't
    reliably give the desired answer.  This fixes bug #3387 and various related
    corner cases, and improves the usefulness of PG for high-precision integer
    arithmetic.
