This module was intended to ease migrations of applications that used
the pre-8.3 version of text search to the in-core version introduced
in that release.  However, since all pre-8.3 releases of the database
have been out of support for more than 5 years at this point, we
expect that few people are depending on it at this point.  If some
people still need it, nothing prevents it from being maintained as a
separate extension, outside of core.

This add a new pgp_armor_headers function to extract armor headers from an
ASCII-armored blob, and a new overloaded variant of the armor function, for
constructing an ASCII-armor with extra headers.

The latest update introduced some funny whitespace, but since they are
externally maintained files, we add them to the list of files to ignore.

Avoid the use of **, which was only introduced in Git version 1.8.2.

Set per file type attributes in .gitattributes to fine-tune whitespace
checks.  With the associated cleanups, the tree is now clean for git
