Tom Lane 3d332c8f38 Improve and simplify CREATE EXTENSION's management of GUC variables.
CREATE EXTENSION needs to transiently set search_path, as well as
client_min_messages and log_min_messages.  We were doing this by the
expedient of saving the current string value of each variable, doing a
SET LOCAL, and then doing another SET LOCAL with the previous value at
the end of the command.  This is a bit expensive though, and it also fails
badly if there is anything funny about the existing search_path value,
as seen in a recent report from Roger Niederland.  Fortunately, there's a
much better way, which is to piggyback on the GUC infrastructure previously
developed for functions with SET options.  We just open a new GUC nesting
level, do our assignments with GUC_ACTION_SAVE, and then close the nesting
level when done.  This automatically restores the prior settings without a
re-parsing pass, so (in principle anyway) there can't be an error.  And
guc.c still takes care of cleanup in event of an error abort.

The CREATE EXTENSION code for this was modeled on some much older code in
ri_triggers.c, which I also changed to use the better method, even though
there wasn't really much risk of failure there.  Also improve the comments
in guc.c to reflect this additional usage.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
