Peter Eisentraut 35ce24c333 pg_dump: Remove "blob" terminology
For historical reasons, pg_dump refers to large objects as "BLOBs".
This term is not used anywhere else in PostgreSQL, and it also means
something different in the SQL standard and other SQL systems.

This patch renames internal functions, code comments, documentation,
etc. to use the "large object" or "LO" terminology instead.  There is
no functionality change, so the archive format still uses the name
"BLOB" for the archive entry.  Additional long command-line options
are added with the new naming.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication (but see also below)

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

kerberos/
  Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption

ldap/
  Tests for LDAP-based authentication

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication
