Use posix_fallocate() for new WAL files, where available.

This function is more efficient than actually writing out zeroes to
the new file, per microbenchmarks by Jon Nelson. Also, it may reduce
the likelihood of WAL file fragmentation.

Update messages, comments and documentation for materialized views.

All instances of the verbiage lagging the code.  Back-patch to 9.3,
where materialized views were introduced.
PL/Python: Convert numeric to Decimal

The old implementation converted PostgreSQL numeric to Python float,
which was always considered a shortcoming.  Now numeric is converted to
the Python Decimal object.  Either the external cdecimal module or the
standard library decimal module are supported.

Rename a function to avoid naming conflict in parallel regression tests.

Commit 31a891857a128828d47d93c63e041f3b69cbab70 added some tests in
plpgsql.sql that used a function rather unthinkingly named "foo()".
However, rangefuncs.sql has some much older tests that create a function
of that name, and since these test scripts run in parallel, there is a
chance of failures if the timing is just right.  Use another name to
avoid that.  Per buildfarm (failure seen today on "hamerkop", but
probably it's happened before and not been noticed).
