Fixed handling of cyclic defines.

* Fix help text ordering

* Add back --set-session-authorization to pg_dumpall.  Updated the docs
for that.  Updated help for that.

* Dump ALTER USER commands for the cluster owner ("pgsql").  These are
dumped AFTER the create user and create database commands in case the
permissions to do these have been revoked.

* Dump ALTER OWNER for public schema (because it's possible to change
it).  This was done by adding TOC entries for the public schema, and
filtering them out at archiver time.  I also save the owner in the TOC
entry just for the public schema.

* Suppress dumping single quotes around schema_path and DateStyle
options when they are set using ALTER USER or ALTER DATABASE.  Added a
comment to the steps in guc.c to remind people to update that list.

* Fix dumping in --clean mode against a pre-7.3 server.  It just sets
all drop statements to assume the public schema, allowing it to restore
without error.

* Cleaned up text output.  eg. Don't output -- Tablespaces comment if
there are none.  Same for groups and users.

* Make the commands to DELETE FROM pg_shadow and DELETE FROM pg_group
only be output when -c mode is enabled.  I'm not sure why that hasn't
been done before?!?!

This should be good for application asap, after which I will start on
regression dumping 7.0-7.4 databases.

Instead use our own abstimein code, which is more flexible anyway.

loose ends and a glaring lack of documentation, but it basically works.

from PostgreSQL, as in the case of the ODBC driver.

force relcache rebuild for the other table as well as the column's
own table.  Otherwise, already-cached foreign key triggers will stop
working.  Per example from Alexander Pravking.

keep track of portal-related resources separately from transaction-related
resources.  This allows cursors to work in a somewhat sane fashion with
nested transactions.  For now, cursor behavior is non-subtransactional,
that is a cursor's state does not roll back if you abort a subtransaction
that fetched from the cursor.  We might want to change that later.

* perl_useshrplib gets set to "yes" and not to "true". I assume it's set
to "true" on unix, so I left both.
* Need to translate backslashes into slashes
* The linker config coming out of perl was for MSVC and not for mingw

sure the tuple datums it returns actually show that type and not RECORD.

AUTHORIZATION commands by default.  Move all GRANT and REVOKE commands
to the end of the dump to avoid restore failures in several situations.
Bring back --use-set-session-authorization option to get previous SET
behaviour

(.dylib format) on Mac OS X, while not messing up loadable modules for
the backend (which are the same kind of animal as a shared library on
every other platform, but not here).  Also get the naming convention
to match OS X practice, viz libFOO.version.so not libFOO.so.version.
In support of that last, refactor code in Makefile.shlib to make it
easier to have platform-specific shlib naming conventions.
This patch is loosely based on the Fink project's current postgresql.patch.
Tested by yours truly on OS X 10.3.4; does anyone have 10.2.* to check
it on?

Simplify postmaster call too.

-O, --no-owner

currently unapplied regarding spi_internal.c, makes some additional
fixes relating to return types, and also contains the fix for
preventing  the use of insecure versions of Safe.pm.

There is one remaing return case that does not appear to work, namely
return of a composite directly in a select, i.e. if  foo returns some
composite type, 'select * from foo()' works but 'select foo()' doesn't.
We will either fix that or document it as a limitation.

The function plperl_func_handler is a mess - I will try to get it
cleaned up (and split up) in a subsequent patch, time permitting.

Also, reiterating previous advice - this changes slightly the API for
spi_exec_query - the returned object has either 2 or 3 members: 'status'
(string) and 'proceesed' (int,- number of rows) and, if rows are
returned, 'rows' (array of tuple hashes).
