even if the "deadlock detected" ERROR message is suppressed by an exception
catcher.  Be clearer about the event sequence when a soft deadlock is fixed:
the fixing process might or might not still have to wait, so log that
separately.  Fix race condition when someone releases us from the lock partway
through printing all this junk --- we'd not get confused about our state, but
the log message sequence could have been misleading, ie, a "still waiting"
message with no subsequent "acquired" message.  Greg Stark and Tom Lane.

pending decision on exactly what will happen with
contrib/tsearch2 now that it's in core.

namespace isn't necessarily first in the search path (there could be implicit
schemas ahead of it).  Examples are

test=# set search_path TO s1;

test=# create view pg_timezone_names as select * from pg_timezone_names();
ERROR:  "pg_timezone_names" is already a view

test=# create table pg_class (f1 int primary key);
ERROR:  permission denied: "pg_class" is a system catalog

You'd expect these commands to create the requested objects in s1, since
names beginning with pg_ aren't supposed to be reserved anymore.  What is
happening is that we create the requested base table and then execute
additional commands (here, CREATE RULE or CREATE INDEX), and that code is
passed the same RangeVar that was in the original command.  Since that
RangeVar has schemaname = NULL, the secondary commands think they should do a
path search, and that means they find system catalogs that are implicitly in
front of s1 in the search path.

This is perilously close to being a security hole: if the secondary command
failed to apply a permission check then it'd be possible for unprivileged
users to make schema modifications to system catalogs.  But as far as I can
find, there is no code path in which a check doesn't occur.  Which makes it
just a weird corner-case bug for people who are silly enough to want to
name their tables the same as a system catalog.

The relevant code has changed quite a bit since 8.2, which means this patch
wouldn't work as-is in the back branches.  Since it's a corner case no one
has reported from the field, I'm not going to bother trying to back-patch.

days that was obsolete the moment we had IN (SELECT ...) capability.
It's arguably a security hole since it applied no permissions check to
the table it searched, and since it was never documented anywhere,
removing it seems more appropriate than fixing it.

and pg_tablespace_size to superusers.  Perhaps we could weaken the first
case to just require SELECT privilege, but that doesn't work for the
other cases, so use ownership as the common concept.

While it's not clear that TID linkage info is of any great use to a
nefarious user, it's certainly unexpected that these functions wouldn't
insist on read privileges.

sub-select returns zero rows.  Per complaint from Jens Schicke.  Since this
is more in the nature of a definition change than a bug, not back-patched.

but just hardwire the specified timezone database path into the executable.
Per discussion, this avoids some packaging disadvantages of using a
symlink.

relcache entry after having heap_close'd it.  This could lead to misbehavior
if a relcache flush wiped out the cache entry meanwhile.  In 8.2 there is a
very real risk of CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY using the wrong relid for locking
and waiting purposes.  I think the bug is only cosmetic in 8.0 and 8.1,
because their transgression is limited to using RelationGetRelationName(rel)
in an ereport message immediately after heap_close, and there's no way (except
with special debugging options) for a cache flush to occur in that interval.
Not quite sure that it's cosmetic in 7.4, but seems best to patch anyway.

Found by trying to run the regression tests with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS enabled.
Maybe we should try to do that on a regular basis --- it's awfully slow,
but perhaps some fast buildfarm machine could do it once in awhile.

cosmetic change, but the new code won't show up till you do one.

Minor other cleanups.

- ispell initialization crashed on empty dictionary file
- ispell initialization crashed on affix file with prefixes but no suffixes
- stop words file was run through pg_verify_mbstr, with database
  encoding, but it's supposed to be UTF-8; similar bug for synonym files
- bunch of comments added, typos fixed, and other cleanup

Introduced consistent encoding checking/conversion of data read from tsearch
configuration files, by doing this in a single t_readline() subroutine
(replacing direct usages of fgets).  Cleaned up API for readstopwords too.

some of them may not work in template1's encoding.  Per Teodor.

This prevents needing to do complex and poorly-defined updates of the
mapping table if the new parser has different token types than the old.
Per discussion.

names in the former case seems more consistent with the behavior of
other \dF commands.

init options of the template as top-level options in the syntax.  This also
makes ALTER a bit easier to use, since options can be replaced individually.
I also made these statements verify that the tmplinit method will accept
the new settings before they get stored; in the original coding you didn't
find out about mistakes until the dictionary got invoked.

Under the hood, init methods now get options as a List of DefElem instead
of a raw text string --- that lets tsearch use existing options-pushing code
instead of duplicating functionality.

'with map' parameter; as things now stand there's really not much point
in specifying a config-to-copy if you don't copy its map.  Also, use
COPY instead of TEMPLATE as the key word for a config-to-copy, so as
to avoid confusion with text search templates.  Per discussion; the
just-committed reference page for the command already describes it
this way.

There's not much point in prettifying machine-generated code, and it
seems best to keep these files exactly like upstream anyway.  Also add
some notes about why various files are excluded.
