Tom Lane c7b8998ebb Phase 2 of pgindent updates.
Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments
to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments
following #endif to not obey the general rule.

Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using
the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that
tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of
code.  The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be
moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's
code there.  BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops
in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working
in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs.  So the
net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed
one tab stop left of before.  This is better all around: it leaves
more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such
cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after
the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after.

Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same
as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else.
That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage
from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent.

This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

src/test/thread/README

Threading
=========

This program is run by configure to determine if threading is
properly supported on the platform.

You can run the program manually to see details, which shows if your
native libc functions are thread-safe, or if we use *_r functions or
thread locking.

To use this program manually, you must:

	o run "configure"
	o compile the main source tree
	o compile and run this program

If your platform requires special thread flags that are not tested by
/config/acx_pthread.m4, add PTHREAD_CFLAGS and PTHREAD_LIBS defines to
your template/${port} file.

Windows Systems
===============

Windows systems do not vary in their thread-safeness in the same way that
other systems might, nor do they generally have pthreads installed, hence
on Windows this test is skipped by the configure program (pthreads is
required by the test program, but not PostgreSQL itself). If you do wish
to test your system however, you can do so as follows:

1) Install pthreads in you Mingw/Msys environment. You can download pthreads
   from ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/pthreads-win32/.

2) Build the test program:

   gcc -o thread_test.exe \
    -D_REENTRANT \
    -D_THREAD_SAFE \
    -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS \
    -I../../../src/include/port/win32 \
    thread_test.c \
    -lws2_32 \
    -lpthreadgc2

3) Run thread_test.exe. You should see output like:

    dpage@PC30:/cvs/pgsql/src/tools/thread$ ./thread_test
    Your GetLastError() is thread-safe.
    Your system uses strerror() which is thread-safe.
    getpwuid_r()/getpwuid() are not applicable to Win32 platforms.
    Your system uses gethostbyname which is thread-safe.

    Your platform is thread-safe.
