Tom Lane 3ed2005ff5 Introduce macros for typalign and typstorage constants.
Our usual practice for "poor man's enum" catalog columns is to define
macros for the possible values and use those, not literal constants,
in C code.  But for some reason lost in the mists of time, this was
never done for typalign/attalign or typstorage/attstorage.  It's never
too late to make it better though, so let's do that.

The reason I got interested in this right now is the need to duplicate
some uses of the TYPSTORAGE constants in an upcoming ALTER TYPE patch.
But in general, this sort of change aids greppability and readability,
so it's a good idea even without any specific motivation.

I may have missed a few places that could be converted, and it's even
more likely that pending patches will re-introduce some hard-coded
references.  But that's not fatal --- there's no expectation that
we'd actually change any of these values.  We can clean up stragglers
over time.

Test extensions and libraries
=============================

src/test/modules contains PostgreSQL extensions that are primarily or entirely
intended for testing PostgreSQL and/or to serve as example code. The extensions
here aren't intended to be installed in a production server and aren't suitable
for "real work".

Furthermore, while you can do "make install" and "make installcheck" in
this directory or its children, it is NOT ADVISABLE to do so with a server
containing valuable data.  Some of these tests may have undesirable
side-effects on roles or other global objects within the tested server.
"make installcheck-world" at the top level does not recurse into this
directory.

Most extensions have their own pg_regress tests or isolationtester specs. Some
are also used by tests elsewhere in the tree.

If you're adding new hooks or other functionality exposed as C-level API this
is where to add the tests for it.
