tad faster.

when the blocks list is empty (there can surely be no freelist items if
the context contains no memory), and use MemSetAligned not MemSet to
clear the headers (we assume alignof(pointer) >= alignof(int32)).
Per discussion with Atsushi Ogawa.  He proposes some further hacking
that I'm not yet sold on, but these two changes are unconditional wins
since there is no case in which they make things slower.

PLs to use the standard pg_regress infrastructure.  No changes in the
tests themselves.  Andrew Dunstan

When one side of the join has a NULL, we don't want to uselessly try
to match it against every remaining tuple of the other side.  While
at it, rewrite the comparison machinery to avoid multiple evaluations
of the left and right input expressions and to use a btree comparator
where available, instead of double operator calls.  Also revise the
state machine to eliminate redundant comparisons and hopefully make it
more readable too.

and add an example showing assignment of a password.  Per suggestion
from Jari Aalto (via Martin Pitt).

no bug related to this functionality in HEAD, but it's worth adding a test
for anyway.) From Andrew Dunstan.

want to handle set inputs, it should just pass NULL for isDone, not make
its own failure check.

AtCommit_Portals is restarted when a portal is deleted. This is
necessary since the deletion of a portal may cause the deletion of
another which on rare occations may cause the iterator to return a
deleted portal an thus a renewed attempt delete.

methods: they all invoke UpdateStats() since they have computed the
number of heap tuples, so I created a function in catalog/index.c that
each AM now calls.

collector messages, per recent discussion on pgsql-patches. This
actually required quite a few changes -- for example,
"databaseid != InvalidOid" was used to check whether a slot in the
backend entry table was initialized, but that no longer works since
the slot might be initialized prior to receiving the BESTART message
which contains the database id. We now use procpid > 0 to indicate
that a slot is non-empty.

Other changes:

- various comment improvements and cleanups
- there's no need to zero-out the entire activity buffer in
  pgstat_add_backend(), we can just set activity[0] to '\0'.
- remove the counting of the # of connections to a database; this
  was not used anywhere

One change in behavior I wasn't sure about: previously, the code
would create a hash table entry for a database as soon as any message
was received whose header referenced that database. Now, we only
create hash table entries as needed (so for example BESTART won't
create a database hash table entry, since it doesn't need to
access anything in the per-db hash table). It would be easy enough
to retain the old behavior, but AFAICS it is not required.

memset() or MemSet() to a char *. For one, memset()'s first argument is
a void *, and further void * can be implicitly coerced to/from any other
pointer type.
