Move username lookup functions from /port to /common

Per suggestion from Peter E and Alvaro
Adjust pg_upgrade for move of username lookup functions to /common
Remove DESCR entries for json operator functions.

Per -hackers discussion.
Add another regression test cross-checking operator and function comments.

Add a query that lists all the functions that are operator implementation
functions and have a SQL comment that doesn't just say "implementation of
XYZ operator".  (Note that the preceding test checks that such functions'
comments exactly match the corresponding operators' comments.)

While it's not forbidden to add more functions to this list, that should
only be done when we're encouraging users to use either the function or
operator syntax for the functionality, which is a fairly rare situation.

Fix compute_scalar_stats() for case that all values exceed WIDTH_THRESHOLD.

The standard typanalyze functions skip over values whose detoasted size
exceeds WIDTH_THRESHOLD (1024 bytes), so as to limit memory bloat during
ANALYZE.  However, we (I think I, actually :-() failed to consider the
possibility that *every* non-null value in a column is too wide.  While
compute_minimal_stats() seems to behave reasonably anyway in such a case,
compute_scalar_stats() just fell through and generated no pg_statistic
entry at all.  That's unnecessarily pessimistic: we can still produce
valid stanullfrac and stawidth values in such cases, since we do include
too-wide values in the average-width calculation.  Furthermore, since the
general assumption in this code is that too-wide values are probably all
distinct from each other, it seems reasonable to set stadistinct to -1
("all distinct").

Per complaint from Kadri Raudsepp.  This has been like this since roughly
neolithic times, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Fix possible crashes due to using elog/ereport too early in startup.

Per reports from Andres Freund and Luke Campbell, a server failure during
set_pglocale_pgservice results in a segfault rather than a useful error
message, because the infrastructure needed to use ereport hasn't been
initialized; specifically, MemoryContextInit hasn't been called.
One known cause of this is starting the server in a directory it
doesn't have permission to read.

We could try to prevent set_pglocale_pgservice from using anything that
depends on palloc or elog, but that would be messy, and the odds of future
breakage seem high.  Moreover there are other things being called in main.c
that look likely to use palloc or elog too --- perhaps those things
shouldn't be there, but they are there today.  The best solution seems to
be to move the call of MemoryContextInit to very early in the backend's
real main() function.  I've verified that an elog or ereport occurring
immediately after that is now capable of sending something useful to
stderr.

I also added code to elog.c to print something intelligible rather than
just crashing if MemoryContextInit hasn't created the ErrorContext.
This could happen if MemoryContextInit itself fails (due to malloc
failure), and provides some future-proofing against someone trying to
sneak in new code even earlier in server startup.

Back-patch to all supported branches.  Since we've only heard reports of
this type of failure recently, it may be that some recent change has made
it more likely to see a crash of this kind; but it sure looks like it's
broken all the way back.
Disallow LATERAL references to the target table of an UPDATE/DELETE.

On second thought, commit 0c051c90082da0b7e5bcaf9aabcbd4f361137cdc was
over-hasty: rather than allowing this case, we ought to reject it for now.
That leaves the field clear for a future feature that allows the target
table to be re-specified in the FROM (or USING) clause, which will enable
left-joining the target table to something else.  We can then also allow
LATERAL references to such an explicitly re-specified target table.
But allowing them right now will create ambiguities or worse for such a
feature, and it isn't something we documented 9.3 as supporting.

While at it, add a convenience subroutine to avoid having several copies
of the ereport for disalllowed-LATERAL-reference cases.

Fix possible buffer overrun in contrib/pg_trgm.

Allow for the possibility that folding a string to lower case makes it
longer (due to replacing a character with a longer multibyte character).
This doesn't change the number of trigrams that will be extracted, but
it does affect the required size of an intermediate buffer in
generate_trgm().  Per bug #8821 from Ufuk Kayserilioglu.

Also install some checks that the input string length is not so large
as to cause overflow in the calculations of palloc request sizes.

Back-patch to all supported versions.

Code improvements for ALTER SYSTEM .. SET.

Move FreeConfigVariables() later to make sure ErrorConfFile is valid

Simple table of contents for a shared memory segment.

This interface is intended to make it simple to divide a dynamic shared
memory segment into different regions with distinct purposes.  It
therefore serves much the same purpose that ShmemIndex accomplishes for
the main shared memory segment, but it is intended to be more
lightweight.

Patch by me.  Review by Andres Freund.
Single-reader, single-writer, lightweight shared message queue.

This code provides infrastructure for user backends to communicate
relatively easily with background workers.  The message queue is
structured as a ring buffer and allows messages of arbitary length
to be sent and received.

Patch by me.  Review by KaiGai Kohei and Andres Freund.
Test code for shared memory message queue facility.

This code is intended as a demonstration of how the dynamic shared
memory and dynamic background worker facilities can be used to establish
a group of coooperating processes which can coordinate their activities
using the shared memory message queue facility.  By itself, the code
does nothing particularly interesting: it simply allows messages to
be passed through a loop of workers and back to the original process.
But it's a useful unit test, in addition to its demonstration value.
Fix typo in comment.
