Add ALTER SEQUENCE to modify min/max/increment/cache/cycle values
Also updated create sequence docs to mention NO MINVALUE, & NO MAXVALUE.
New Files:
doc/src/sgml/ref/alter_sequence.sgml
src/test/regress/expected/sequence.out
src/test/regress/sql/sequence.sql
ALTER SEQUENCE is NOT transactional. It behaves similarly to setval().
It matches the proposed SQL200N spec, as well as Oracle in most ways --
Oracle lacks RESTART WITH for some strange reason.

comments on one of the optimizer functions a lot more
clear, adds a summary of the recent KSQO discussion to the
comments in the code, adds regression tests for the bug with
sequence state Tom fixed recently and another reg. test, and
removes some PostQuel legacy stuff: ExecAppend -> ExecInsert,
ExecRetrieve -> ExecSelect, etc.
Error messages remain unchanged until a vote.

elog() messages from this routine are user-visible, so we
should be using the SQL terms.

arrayfuncs.patch fixes a small bug in my previous patches for
arrays
array-regress.patch adds _bpchar and _varchar to regression tests

1. Remove the char2, char4, char8 and char16 types from postgresql
2. Change references of char16 to name in the regression tests.
3. Rename the char16.sql regression test to name.sql. 4. Modify
the regression test scripts and outputs to match up.
Might require new regression.{SYSTEM} files...
