This provides a mechanism for specifying conversions between SQL data
types and procedural languages. As examples, there are transforms
for hstore and ltree for PL/Perl and PL/Python.

Before, make check-world would create a new temporary installation for
each test suite, which is slow and wasteful. Instead, we now create one
test installation that is used by all test suites that are part of a
make run.
The management of the temporary installation is removed from pg_regress
and handled in the makefiles. This allows for better control, and
unifies the code with that of test suites not run through pg_regress.

The reasons behind commit 0d147e43adcf5d2bff9caa073608f381a27439bf still
stand, so this reverts the non-cosmetic portion of commit
a7983e989d9cafc9cef49becfee054e34b1ed9b4. Back-patch to 9.4, where the
latter commit first appeared.
Prominent binaries already had this metadata. A handful of minor
binaries, such as pg_regress.exe, still lack it; efforts to eliminate
such exceptions are welcome.

As of Xcode 5.0, Apple isn't including the Python framework as part of the
SDK-level files, which means that linking to it might fail depending on
whether Xcode thinks you've selected a specific SDK version. According to
their Tech Note 2328, they've basically deprecated the framework method of
linking to libpython and are telling people to link to the shared library
normally. (I'm pretty sure this is in direct contradiction to the advice
they were giving a few years ago, but whatever.) Testing says that this
approach works fine at least as far back as OS X 10.4.11, so let's just
rip out the framework special case entirely. We do still need a special
case to decide that OS X provides a shared library at all, unfortunately
(I wonder why the distutils check doesn't work ...). But this is still
less of a special case than before, so it's fine.
Back-patch to all supported branches, since we'll doubtless be hearing
about this more as more people update to recent Xcode.
This build technique is remarkably ugly, but that doesn't mean it has
to be unreadable too. Be a bit more liberal with the vertical whitespace,
and give the .def file a proper dependency, just in case.
This confused Cygwin's make because of the colon in the path. The
DLL isn't likely to change under us so preserving the dependency
doesn't gain us much, and it's useful to be able to do a native
Windows build with the Cygwin mingw toolset.

The PL/Python build on OS X was previously hardcoded to use the system
installation of Python, ignoring whatever was specified to configure.
Except that it would use the header files from configure, which could
lead to mismatches. It was not possible to build against a custom
Python installation.
Now, we check in configure how the specified Python installation was
built and use that, supporting framework and non-framework builds.
This was used in a time when a shared libperl or libpython was difficult
to come by. That is obsolete, and the idea behind the flag was never
fully portable anyway and will likely fail on more modern CPU
architectures.
Currently, we are making mangled copies of plpython/{expected,sql} to
plpython/python3/{expected,sql}, and run the tests in
plpython/python3. This has the disadvantage that the regression.diffs
file, if any, ends up in plpython/python3, which is not the normal
location. If we instead make the mangled copies in
plpython/{expected,sql}/python3/, we can run the tests from the normal
directory, regression.diffs ends up the normal place, and the
pg_regress invocation also becomes a lot simpler. It's also more
obvious at run time what's going on, because the tests end up being
named "python3/something" in the test output.
This moves the code around from one huge file into hopefully logical
and more manageable modules. For the most part, the code itself was
not touched, except: PLy_function_handler and PLy_trigger_handler were
renamed to PLy_exec_function and PLy_exec_trigger, because they were
not actually handlers in the PL handler sense, and it makes the naming
more similar to the way PL/pgSQL is organized. The initialization of
the procedure caches was separated into a new function
init_procedure_caches to keep the hash tables private to
plpy_procedures.c.

The old expression sed 's,$(srcdir),python3,' would normally resolve
as sed 's,.,python3,', which is not really what we wanted. While it
doesn't actually break anything right now, it's still wrong, so put in
a bit more work to make it more robust.
Certain subdirectories do not get built if corresponding options are not
selected at configure time. However, "make distprep" should visit such
directories anyway, so that constructing derived files to be included in
the tarball happens without requiring all configure options to be given
in the tarball build script. Likewise, it's better if cleanup actions
unconditionally visit all directories (for example, this ensures proper
cleanup if someone has done a manual make in such a subdirectory).
To handle this, set up a convention that subdirectories that are
conditionally included in SUBDIRS should be added to ALWAYS_SUBDIRS
instead when they are excluded.
Back-patch to 9.1, so that plpython's spiexceptions.h will get provided
in 9.1 tarballs. There don't appear to be any instances where distprep
actions got missed in previous releases, and anyway this fix requires
gmake 3.80 so we don't want to apply it before 9.1.
install-sh can install multiple files at once, so for loops are not
necessary. This was already changed for the rest of the code some
time ago, but pgxs.mk was apparently forgotten, and the obsolete
coding style has now been copied to the PLs as well.
This also fixes the problem that the for loops in question did not
catch errors.
The original scheme for this was to symlink plpython.$DLSUFFIX to
plpython2.$DLSUFFIX, but that doesn't work on Windows, and only
accidentally failed to fail because of the way that CREATE LANGUAGE created
or didn't create new C functions. My changes of yesterday exposed the
weakness of that approach. To fix, get rid of the symlink and make
pg_pltemplate show what's really going on.
This mostly just involves creating control, install, and
update-from-unpackaged scripts for them. However, I had to adjust plperl
and plpython to not share the same support functions between variants,
because we can't put the same function into multiple extensions.
catversion bump forced due to new contents of pg_pltemplate, and because
initdb now installs plpgsql as an extension not a bare language.
Add support for regression testing these as extensions not bare
languages.
Fix a couple of other issues that popped up while testing this: my initial
hack at pg_dump binary-upgrade support didn't work right, and we don't want
an extra schema permissions test after all.
Documentation changes still to come, but I'm committing now to see
whether the MSVC build scripts need work (likely they do).
This provides a separate exception class for each error code that the
backend defines, as well as the ability to get the SQLSTATE from the
exception object.

Add functions plpy.quote_ident, plpy.quote_literal,
plpy.quote_nullable, which wrap the equivalent SQL functions.
To be able to propagate char * constness properly, make the argument
of quote_literal_cstr() const char *. This also makes it more
consistent with quote_identifier().

Behaves more or less unchanged compared to Python 2, but the new language

of the previous monolithic setup-create-run sequence, that was apparently
inherited from a previous test infrastructure, but makes working with the
tests and adding new ones weird.
modules are built. Foremost, it creates a solid distinction between these two
types of targets based on what had already been implemented and duplicated in
ad hoc ways before. Specifically,
- Dynamically loadable modules no longer get a soname. The numbers previously
set in the makefiles were dummy numbers anyway, and the presence of a soname
upset a few packaging tools, so it is nicer not to have one.
- The cumbersome detour taken on installation (build a libfoo.so.0.0.0 and
then override the rule to install foo.so instead) is removed.
- Lots of duplicated code simplified.
pg_regress: there's no other way to cope with testing a relocated
installation. Seems better to call it --psqldir though, since the
only thing we need to find in that case is psql. It'd be better if
we could use find_other_exec, but that's not happening unless we are
willing to install pg_regress alongside psql, which seems unlikely
to happen.
This allows it to be used on Windows without installing mingw
(though you do still need 'diff'), and opens the door to future
improvements such as message localization.

pltcl may need this treatment as well, but we don't have the right path
conveniently available, so I'll leave it alone as long as there aren't
actual reports of trouble.
-L spec rather than assuming libpython is in the standard search path
(this returns to the way 7.4 did it). But check the distutils output
to see if it looks like Python has built a shared library, and if so
link with that instead of the probably-not-shared library found in
configdir.
