Tom Lane	749a787c5b	Handle contrib's GIN/GIST support function signature changes honestly. In commits `9ff60273e3` and `dbe2328959` I (tgl) fixed the signatures of a bunch of contrib's GIN and GIST support functions so that they would pass validation by the recently-added amvalidate functions. The backend does not actually consult or check those signatures otherwise, so I figured this was basically cosmetic and did not require an extension version bump. However, Alexander Korotkov pointed out that that would leave us in a pretty messy situation if we ever wanted to redefine those functions later, because there wouldn't be a unique way to name them. Since we're going to be bumping these extensions' versions anyway for parallel-query cleanups, let's take care of this now. Andreas Karlsson, adjusted for more search-path-safety by me	9 years ago
Heikki Linnakangas	e09b48316c	Add index-only scan support to btree_gist. inet, cidr, and timetz indexes still cannot support index-only scans, because they don't store the original unmodified value in the index, but a derived approximate value.	11 years ago
Tom Lane	629b3af27d	Convert contrib modules to use the extension facility. This isn't fully tested as yet, in particular I'm not sure that the "foo--unpackaged--1.0.sql" scripts are OK. But it's time to get some buildfarm cycles on it. sepgsql is not converted to an extension, mainly because it seems to require a very nonstandard installation process.

Handle contrib's GIN/GIST support function signature changes honestly.

In commits 9ff60273e3 and dbe2328959 I (tgl) fixed the
signatures of a bunch of contrib's GIN and GIST support functions so that
they would pass validation by the recently-added amvalidate functions.
The backend does not actually consult or check those signatures otherwise,
so I figured this was basically cosmetic and did not require an extension
version bump.  However, Alexander Korotkov pointed out that that would
leave us in a pretty messy situation if we ever wanted to redefine those
functions later, because there wouldn't be a unique way to name them.
Since we're going to be bumping these extensions' versions anyway for
parallel-query cleanups, let's take care of this now.

Add index-only scan support to btree_gist.

inet, cidr, and timetz indexes still cannot support index-only scans,
because they don't store the original unmodified value in the index, but a
derived approximate value.

This isn't fully tested as yet, in particular I'm not sure that the
"foo--unpackaged--1.0.sql" scripts are OK.  But it's time to get some
buildfarm cycles on it.
