Fix pg_isolation_regress to work outside its build directory.

This makes it possible to, for example, use the isolation tester to
test a contrib module.

Inspired by, but different from, a patch from Ivan Lezhnjov IV
Fix race condition in GIN posting tree page deletion.

If a page is deleted, and reused for something else, just as a search is
following a rightlink to it from its left sibling, the search would continue
scanning whatever the new contents of the page are. That could lead to
incorrect query results, or even something more curious if the page is
reused for a different kind of a page.

To fix, modify the search algorithm to lock the next page before releasing
the previous one, and refrain from deleting pages from the leftmost branch
of the tree.

Add a new Concurrency section to the README, explaining why this works.
There is a lot more one could say about concurrency in GIN, but that's for
another patch.

Backpatch to all supported versions.
Fix ECPG compiler warning.

Commit 9b4d52f2095be96ca238ce41f6963ec56376491f failed to notice
that pg_regress_ecpg needed updating.

This patch was independently submitted by both David Rowley
and Andres Freund.
Fix whitespace issues found by git diff --check, add gitattributes

Set per file type attributes in .gitattributes to fine-tune whitespace
checks.  With the associated cleanups, the tree is now clean for git
Don't abort pg_basebackup when receiving empty WAL block

This is a similar fix as c6ec8793aa59d1842082e14b4b4aae7d4bd883fd
9.2. This should never happen in 9.3 and newer since the special case
cannot happen there, but this patch synchronizes up the code so there
is no confusion on why they're different. An empty block is as harmless
in 9.3 as it was in 9.2, and can safely be ignored.
Re-allow duplicate aliases within aliased JOINs.

Although the SQL spec forbids duplicate table aliases, historically
we've allowed queries like
    SELECT ... FROM tab1 x CROSS JOIN (tab2 x CROSS JOIN tab3 y) z
on the grounds that the aliased join (z) hides the aliases within it,
therefore there is no conflict between the two RTEs named "x".  The
LATERAL patch broke this, on the misguided basis that "x" could be
ambiguous if tab3 were a LATERAL subquery.  To avoid breaking existing
queries, it's better to allow this situation and complain only if
tab3 actually does contain an ambiguous reference.  We need only remove
the check that was throwing an error, because the column lookup code
is already prepared to handle ambiguous references.  Per bug #8444.
Fix ruleutils pretty-printing to not generate trailing whitespace.

The pretty-printing logic in ruleutils.c operates by inserting a newline
and some indentation whitespace into strings that are already valid SQL.
This naturally results in leaving some trailing whitespace before the
newline in many cases; which can be annoying when processing the output
with other tools, as complained of by Joe Abbate.  We can fix that in
a pretty localized fashion by deleting any trailing whitespace before
we append a pretty-printing newline.  In addition, we have to modify the
code inserted by commit 2f582f76b1945929ff07116cd4639747ce9bb8a1 so that
we also delete trailing whitespace when transposing items from temporary
buffers into the main result string, when a temporary item starts with a
newline.

This results in rather voluminous changes to the regression test results,
but it's easily verified that they are only removal of trailing whitespace.

Back-patch to 9.3, because the aforementioned commit resulted in many
more cases of trailing whitespace than had occurred in earlier branches.
Fix failure with whole-row reference to a subquery.

Simple oversight in commit 1cb108efb0e60d87e4adec38e7636b6e8efbeb57 ---
recursively examining a subquery output column is only sane if the
original Var refers to a single output column.  Found by Kevin Grittner.
Remove leftovers of IRIX port

This removes the remaining pieces of the IRIX port that was removed by

Fix doc links in README file to work with new website layout

Per report from Colin 't Hart
doc: Fix typo.

Reported by Thom Brown.
Try again to make pg_isolation_regress work its build directory.

We can't search for the isolationtester binary until after we've set
up the environment, because otherwise when find_other_exec() tries
to invoke it with the -V option, it might fail for inability to
locate a working libpq.  So postpone that step.

gitattributes: Make syntax compatible with older Git versions

Avoid the use of **, which was only introduced in Git version 1.8.2.
Move variable closer to where it is used

This avoids an unused variable warning on Windows when building without
asserts

Fix bug in GIN posting tree root creation.

The root page is filled with as many items as fit, and the rest are inserted
using normal insertions. However, I fumbled the variable names, and the code
actually memcpy'd all the items on the page, overflowing the buffer. While
at it, rename the variable to make the distinction more clear.

Reported by Teodor Sigaev. This bug was introduced by my recent
refactorings, so no backpatching required.
Free ignorelist after each regression test schedule.

It's a trivial amount of RAM held until the end of the regression
test run; but it's probably worth fixing to silence future warnings
from code analyzers.

This was the only memory leak pointed out by clang's static code
analysis tool.
