inclusions in src/include/catalog/*.h files. The main idea here is to push
function declarations for src/backend/catalog/*.c files into separate headers,
rather than sticking them into the corresponding catalog definition file as
has been done in the past. This commit only carries out that idea fully for
pg_proc, pg_type and pg_conversion, but that's enough for the moment ---
if pg_list.h ever becomes unsafe for frontend code to include, we'll need
to work a bit more.

snapmgmt.c file for the former. The header files have also been reorganized
in three parts: the most basic snapshot definitions are now in a new file
snapshot.h, and the also new snapmgmt.h keeps the definitions for snapmgmt.c.
tqual.h has been reduced to the bare minimum.
This patch is just a first step towards managing live snapshots within a
transaction; there is no functionality change.

strings. This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text,
cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and
two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of
existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed.
Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one
function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used
to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin,
and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via
memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though).
This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory
leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach
text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few
places where it was easy, but much more could be done.

identical to tuplestore_puttuple(), except it operates on arrays of
Datums + nulls rather than a fully-formed HeapTuple. In several places
that use the tuplestore API, this means we can avoid creating a
HeapTuple altogether, saving a copy.
knowledge up through any joins it participates in. We were doing that already
in some special cases but not in the general case. Also, defend against zero
row estimates for the input relations in cost_mergejoin --- this fix may have
eliminated the only scenario in which that can happen, but be safe. Per
report from Alex Solovey.
friends. Avoid double translation of some messages, ensure other messages
are exposed for translation (and make them follow the style guidelines),
avoid unsafe passing of an unpredictable message text as a format string.
query texts only to the server log. This eliminates the issue of possible
leaking of security-sensitive data in other sessions' queries. Since the
log is presumed secure, we can now log the queries of all sessions involved
in the deadlock, whether or not they belong to the same user as the one
reporting the failure.
errdetail except the string goes only to the server log, replacing the normal
errdetail there. This provides a reasonably clean way of dealing with error
details that are too security-sensitive or too bulky to send to the client.
This commit just adds the infrastructure --- actual uses to follow.
