Tweak position of $(DLL_DEFFILE) in shared-library link commands.

Reading the GNU ld man page suggests that this is order-sensitive
and should go in front of library references.  Correction to commit

Remove --enable-auto-import linker switch in Cygwin build.

This is expected to make it start failing when contrib modules
reference non-PGDLLIMPORT'ed global variables, as the other Windows
build methods do.  Aside from the value of consistency, the underlying
implementation of this switch is pretty ugly and not really something
we want to rely on if we have to use PGDLLIMPORT anyway for MSVC.
Use --disable-auto-import linker switch in Mingw builds, too.

This is evidently the default on buildfarm member narwhal, but that
is a pretty ancient Mingw version, and there is reason to think that
more recent versions of GNU ld have this feature turned on by default.
Since we are trying to achieve consistency of link behavior across
all Windows toolchains, let's just make sure here.
Kill pg_basebackup background process when exiting

If an error occurs in the foreground (backup) process of pg_basebackup,
and we exit in a controlled way, the background process (streaming
xlog process) would stay around and keep streaming.

In XLogReadBufferExtended, don't assume P_NEW yields consecutive pages.

In a database that's not yet reached consistency, it's possible that some
segments of a relation are not full-size but are not the last ones either.
Because of the way smgrnblocks() works, asking for a new page with P_NEW
will fill in the last not-full-size segment --- and if that makes it full
size, the apparent EOF of the relation will increase by more than one page,
so that the next P_NEW request will yield a page past the next consecutive
one.  This breaks the relation-extension logic in XLogReadBufferExtended,
possibly allowing a page update to be applied to some page far past where
it was intended to go.  This appears to be the explanation for reports of
table bloat on replication slaves compared to their masters, and probably
explains some corrupted-slave reports as well.

Fix the loop to check the page number it actually got, rather than merely
Assert()'ing that dead reckoning got it to the desired place.  AFAICT,
there are no other places that make assumptions about exactly which page
they'll get from P_NEW.

Problem identified by Greg Stark, though this is not the same as his
proposed patch.

It's been like this for a long time, so back-patch to all supported
branches.

Improve libpq's error recovery for connection loss during COPY.

In pqSendSome, if the connection is already closed at entry, discard any
queued output data before returning.  There is no possibility of ever
sending the data, and anyway this corresponds to what we'd do if we'd
detected a hard error while trying to send().  This avoids possible
indefinite bloat of the output buffer if the application keeps trying
to send data (or even just keeps trying to do PQputCopyEnd, as psql
indeed will).

Because PQputCopyEnd won't transition out of PGASYNC_COPY_IN state
until it's successfully queued the COPY END message, and pqPutMsgEnd
doesn't distinguish a queuing failure from a pqSendSome failure,
this omission allowed an infinite loop in psql if the connection closure
occurred when we had at least 8K queued to send.  It might be worth
refactoring so that we can make that distinction, but for the moment
the other changes made here seem to offer adequate defenses.

To guard against other variants of this scenario, do not allow
PQgetResult to return a PGRES_COPY_XXX result if the connection is
already known dead.  Make sure it returns PGRES_FATAL_ERROR instead.

Per report from Stephen Frost.  Back-patch to all active branches.
Improve text of stub HISTORY file.

Improve cross-references between minor version release notes.

We have a practice of providing a "bread crumb" trail between the minor
versions where the migration section actually tells you to do something.
Historically that was just plain text, eg, "see the release notes for
9.2.4"; but if you're using a browser or PDF reader, it's a lot nicer
if it's a live hyperlink.  So use "<xref>" instead.  Any argument against
doing this vanished with the recent decommissioning of plain-text release
notes.

Fix length checking for Unicode identifiers containing escapes (U&"...").

We used the length of the input string, not the de-escaped string, as
the trigger for NAMEDATALEN truncation.  AFAICS this would only result
in sometimes printing a phony truncation warning; but it's just luck
that there was no worse problem, since we were violating the API spec
for truncate_identifier().  Per bug #9204 from Joshua Yanovski.

This has been wrong since the Unicode-identifier support was added,
so back-patch to all supported branches.

Separate multixact freezing parameters from xid's

Previously we were piggybacking on transaction ID parameters to freeze
multixacts; but since there isn't necessarily any relationship between
rates of Xid and multixact consumption, this turns out not to be a good
idea.

Therefore, we now have multixact-specific freezing parameters:

vacuum_multixact_freeze_min_age: when to remove multis as we come across
them in vacuum (default to 5 million, i.e. early in comparison to Xid's
default of 50 million)

vacuum_multixact_freeze_table_age: when to force whole-table scans
instead of scanning only the pages marked as not all visible in
visibility map (default to 150 million, same as for Xids).  Whichever of
both which reaches the 150 million mark earlier will cause a whole-table
scan.

autovacuum_multixact_freeze_max_age: when for cause emergency,
uninterruptible whole-table scans (default to 400 million, double as
that for Xids).  This means there shouldn't be more frequent emergency
vacuuming than previously, unless multixacts are being used very
rapidly.

Backpatch to 9.3 where multixacts were made to persist enough to require
freezing.  To avoid an ABI break in 9.3, VacuumStmt has a couple of
fields in an unnatural place, and StdRdOptions is split in two so that
the newly added fields can go at the end.

Patch by me, reviewed by Robert Haas, with additional input from Andres
Freund and Tom Lane.
