as this seems to crash on at least some versions of MingW. Our current usage
of this function does not require it, so it should be ok to ignore.

get rid of the OID column.  This eliminates the problem discovered by Heikki
back in November that 8.4's suppression of "unnecessary" junk filtering in
INSERT/SELECT could lead to an Assert failure, or storing of oids into a table
that shouldn't have them if Asserts are off.  While that particular problem
could have been solved in other ways, it seems likely to be just a forerunner
of things to come if we continue to allow tables to contain rows that disagree
with the pg_class.relhasoids setting.  It's better to make this operation slow
than to sacrifice performance or risk bugs in more common code paths.

Also, add ALTER TABLE SET WITH OIDS to rewrite the table to add oids.
This was a bit more controversial, but in view of the very small amount of
extra code needed given the current ALTER TABLE infrastructure, it seems best
to eliminate the asymmetry in features.

per-table overrides of parameters.

This removes a whole class of problems related to misusing the catalog,
and perhaps more importantly, gives us pg_dump support for the parameters.

from the source table.  This could never happen anyway before 8.4 because
the executor invariably applied a "junk filter" to rows due to be inserted;
but now that we skip doing that when it's not necessary, the case can occur.

was on about at the time (the opacity of the patch he proposed didn't help).

keys when considering a semi or anti join.  This requires estimating the
selectivity of the merge qual as though it were a regular inner join condition.
To allow caching both that and the real outer-join-aware selectivity, split
RestrictInfo.this_selec into two fields.

This fixes one of the problems reported by Kevin Grittner.

has_column_privilege and has_any_column_privilege SQL functions; fix the
information_schema views that are supposed to pay attention to column
privileges; adjust pg_stats to show stats for any column you have select
privilege on; and fix COPY to allow copying a subset of columns if the user
has suitable per-column privileges for all the columns.

To improve efficiency of some of the information_schema views, extend the
has_xxx_privilege functions to allow inquiring about the OR of a set of
privileges in just one call.  This is just exposing capability that already
existed in the underlying aclcheck routines.

In passing, make the information_schema views report the owner's own
privileges as being grantable, since Postgres assumes this even when the grant
option bit is not set in the ACL.  This is a longstanding oversight.

Also, make the new has_xxx_privilege functions for foreign data objects follow
the same coding conventions used by the older ones.

the cheapest-total inner path as a new candidate while truncating the
sort key list, if it already matched the full sort key list.  This is
too much of a corner case to be worth back-patching, since it's unusual
for the cheapest total path to be sorted, and anyway no real harm is
done (except in JOIN_SEMI/ANTI cases where cost_mergejoin is a bit
broken at the moment).  But it wasn't behaving as intended, so fix it.
Noted while examining a test case from Kevin Grittner.  This error doesn't
explain his issue, but it does explain why "set enable_seqscan = off"
seemed to reproduce it for me.
