We have seen one too many reports of people trying to use 9.1 extension
files in the old-fashioned way of sourcing them in psql.  Not only does
that usually not work (due to failure to substitute for MODULE_PATHNAME
and/or @extschema@), but if it did work they'd get a collection of loose
objects not an extension.  To prevent this, insert an \echo ... \quit
line that prints a suitable error message into each extension script file,
and teach commands/extension.c to ignore lines starting with \echo.
That should not only prevent any adverse consequences of loading a script
file the wrong way, but make it crystal clear to users that they need to
do it differently now.

Tom Lane, following an idea of Andrew Dunstan's.  Back-patch into 9.1
... there is not going to be much value in this if we wait till 9.2.

We'll have to settle for just listing the extensions' data types,
since function arguments seem to sort differently in different locales.
Per buildfarm results.

When we implemented extensions, we made findDependentObjects() treat
EXTENSION dependency links similarly to INTERNAL links.  However, that
logic contained an implicit assumption that an object could have at most
one INTERNAL dependency, so it did not work correctly for objects having
both INTERNAL and DEPENDENCY links.  This led to failure to drop some
extension member objects when dropping the extension.  Furthermore, we'd
never actually exercised the case of recursing to an internally-referenced
(owning) object from anything other than a NORMAL dependency, and it turns
out that passing the incoming dependency's flags to the owning object is
the Wrong Thing.  This led to sometimes dropping a whole extension silently
when we should have rejected the drop command for lack of CASCADE.

Since we obviously were under-testing extension drop scenarios, add some
regression test cases.  Unfortunately, such test cases require some
extensions (duh), so we can't test for problems in the core regression
tests.  I chose to add them to the earthdistance contrib module, which is
a good test case because it has a dependency on the cube contrib module.

Back-patch to 9.1.  Arguably these are pre-existing bugs in INTERNAL
dependency handling, but since it appears that the cases can never arise
pre-9.1, I'll refrain from back-patching the logic changes further than
that.

Added a new option --extra-install to pg_regress to arrange installing
the respective contrib directory into the temporary installation.
This is currently not yet supported for Windows MSVC builds.

Updated the .gitignore files for contrib modules to ignore the
leftovers of a temp-install check run.

Changed the exit status of "make check" in a pgxs build (which still
does nothing) to 0 from 1.

Added "make check" in contrib to top-level "make check-world".

It was never terribly consistent to use OR REPLACE (because of the lack of
comparable functionality for data types, operators, etc), and
experimentation shows that it's now positively pernicious in the extension
world.  We really want a failure to occur if there are any conflicts, else
it's unclear what the extension-ownership state of the conflicted object
ought to be.  Most of the time, CREATE EXTENSION will fail anyway because
of conflicts on other object types, but an extension defining only
functions can succeed, with bad results.

This isn't fully tested as yet, in particular I'm not sure that the
"foo--unpackaged--1.0.sql" scripts are OK.  But it's time to get some
buildfarm cycles on it.

sepgsql is not converted to an extension, mainly because it seems to
require a very nonstandard installation process.

Also do some further work in the back branches, where quite a bit wasn't
covered by Magnus' original back-patch.

supposing that they should set SHLIB_LINK rather than LDFLAGS_SL.  Since these
don't go through Makefile.shlib that was a no-op on most platforms.  Also
regularize the few platform-specific Makefiles that did pay attention to
SHLIB_LINK: it seems that the real value of that is to pull in BE_DLLLIBS,
so do that instead.  Per buildfarm failures on cygwin.

and version-1 if USE_FLOAT8_BYVAL.  This might seem a bit pointless, but the
idea is to have at least one regression test that will fail if we ever
accidentally break version-0 functions that return float8.  However, they're
already broken, or at least hopelessly unportable, in the USE_FLOAT8_BYVAL
case.

Per a recent suggestion from Greg Stark.

to future-proof it against pass-by-value float8.

	remove transactions
	use create or replace function
	make formatting consistent
	set search patch on first line

Add documentation on modifying *.sql to set the search patch, and
mention that major upgrades should still run the installation scripts.

Some of these issues were spotted by Tom today.

during parse analysis, not only errors detected in the flex/bison stages.
This is per my earlier proposal.  This commit includes all the basic
infrastructure, but locations are only tracked and reported for errors
involving column references, function calls, and operators.  More could
be done later but this seems like a good set to start with.  I've also
moved the ReportSyntaxErrorPosition logic out of psql and into libpq,
which should make it available to more people --- even within psql this
is an improvement because warnings weren't handled by ReportSyntaxErrorPosition.
