60b2444cc3 Add code to prevent transaction ID wraparound by enforcing a safe limit 
in GetNewTransactionId().  Since the limit value has to be computed
before we run any real transactions, this requires adding code to database
startup to scan pg_database and determine the oldest datfrozenxid.
This can conveniently be combined with the first stage of an attack on
the problem that the 'flat file' copies of pg_shadow and pg_group are
not properly updated during WAL recovery.  The code I've added to
startup resides in a new file src/backend/utils/init/flatfiles.c, and
it is responsible for rewriting the flat files as well as initializing
the XID wraparound limit value.  This will eventually allow us to get
rid of GetRawDatabaseInfo too, but we'll need an initdb so we can add
a trigger to pg_database.

056a664fa1 Mention that some psql environment variables come from libpq and note 
more variables can be found in the libpq manual section.

Mention .pgpass in the psql manual page section dealing with connection
parameters and point to the libpq section for more details.

Backpatch to 8.0.X.

f07b9689c9 Generalize TRUNCATE to support truncating multiple tables in one 
command.  This is useful because we can allow truncation of tables
referenced by foreign keys, so long as the referencing table is
truncated in the same command.

aba691b728 Close all cursors created during a failed subtransaction. This is needed 
to avoid problems when a cursor depends on objects created or changed in
the same subtransaction.  We'd like to do better someday, but this seems
the only workable answer for 8.0.1.
