Fix old pg_dump oversight: default values for domains really need to be dumped
by decompiling the typdefaultbin expression, not just printing the typdefault
text which may be out-of-date or assume the wrong schema search path.  (It's
the same hazard as for adbin vs adsrc in column defaults.)  The catalogs.sgml
spec for pg_type implies that the correct procedure is to look to
typdefaultbin first and consider typdefault only if typdefaultbin is NULL.
I made dumping of both domains and base types do that, even though in the
current backend code typdefaultbin is always correct for domains and
typdefault for base types --- might as well try to future-proof it a little.

Modify logtape.c so that the initial LogicalTapeSetCreate call only
allocates the control data.  The per-tape buffers are allocated only
on first use.  This saves memory in situations where tuplesort.c

than tapes).  Also, this makes legitimate the coding in inittapes()
that includes tape buffer space in the maximum-memory calculation:
when inittapes runs, we've already expended the whole allowed memory

Improve tuplesort.c to support variable merge order.  The original coding
with fixed merge order (fixed number of "tapes") was based on obsolete
assumptions, namely that tape drives are expensive.  Since our "tapes"
are really just a couple of buffers, we can have a lot of them given
adequate workspace.  This allows reduction of the number of merge passes
