aa27977fe2 Support explicit placement of the temporary-table schema within search_path.
This is needed to allow a security-definer function to set a truly secure
value of search_path.  Without it, a malicious user can use temporary objects
to execute code with the privileges of the security-definer function.  Even
pushing the temp schema to the back of the search path is not quite good
enough, because a function or operator at the back of the path might still
capture control from one nearer the front due to having a more exact datatype
match.  Hence, disable searching the temp schema altogether for functions and
operators.

8b4ff8b6a1 Wording cleanup for error messages. Also change can't -> cannot.
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:

        may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."

        can - ability, "I can lift that log."

        might - possibility, "It might rain today."

Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice.  Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

Also update two error messages mentioned in the documenation to match.

2b25e1169f The -X option in pg_dump was supposed to be a workaround for the lack of
portable long options.  But we have had portable long options for a long
time now, so this is obsolete.  Now people have added options which *only*
work with -X but not as regular long option, so I'm putting a stop to this:
-X is deprecated; it still works, but it has been removed from the
documentation, and please don't add more of them.
