Implement feature of new FE/BE protocol whereby RowDescription identifies
the column by table OID and column number, if it's a simple column
reference. Along the way, get rid of reskey/reskeyop fields in Resdoms.

executor wants with no more effort.

When a TIMESTAMP, TIME, or INTERVAL precision is specified larger than our

In the continuing saga of FE/BE protocol revisions, add reporting of

rid of the need for an initial 'select pg_client_encoding()' query in

for a standard connection startup. To allow server version to be sent
using the same GUC mechanism that handles other parameters, invent the
concept of a never-settable GUC parameter: you can 'show server_version'
but it's not settable by any GUC input source. Create 'lc_collate' and
'lc_ctype' never-settable parameters so that people can find out these
settings without need for pg_controldata. (These side ideas were all
discussed some time ago in pgsql-hackers, but not yet implemented.)
