One of the use-cases for postgres_fdw is extracting data from older PG
servers, so cross-version compatibility is important. Document what we
can do here, and further annotate some of the coding choices that create
compatibility constraints. In passing, remove one unnecessary
incompatibility with old servers, namely assuming that we didn't need to
quote the timezone name 'UTC'.

For datatypes whose output formatting depends on one or more GUC settings,
we have to worry about whether the other server will interpret the value
the same way it was meant. pg_dump has been aware of this hazard for a
long time, but postgres_fdw needs to deal with it too. To fix data
retrieval from the remote server, set the necessary remote GUC settings at
connection startup. (We were already assuming that settings made then
would persist throughout the remote session.) To fix data transmission to
the remote server, temporarily force the relevant GUCs to the right values
when we're about to convert any data values to text for transmission.
This is all pretty grotty, and not very cheap either. It's tempting to
think of defining one uber-GUC that would override any settings that might
render printed data values unportable. But of course, older remote servers
wouldn't know any such thing and would still need this logic.
While at it, revert commit f7951eef89be78c50ea2241f593d76dfefe176c9, since
this provides a real fix. (The timestamptz given in the error message
returned from the "remote" server will now reliably be shown in UTC.)

This patch adds the core-system infrastructure needed to support updates
on foreign tables, and extends contrib/postgres_fdw to allow updates
against remote Postgres servers. There's still a great deal of room for
improvement in optimization of remote updates, but at least there's basic
functionality there now.

Set the remote session's search path to exactly "pg_catalog" at session
start, then schema-qualify only names that aren't in that schema. This
greatly reduces clutter in the generated SQL commands, as seen in the
regression test changes. Per discussion.
Also, rethink use of FirstNormalObjectId as the "built-in object" cutoff
--- FirstBootstrapObjectId is safer, since the former will accept
objects in information_schema for instance.

Per buildfarm.

There's still a lot of room for improvement, but it basically works,
and we need this to be present before we can do anything much with the
writable-foreign-tables patch. So let's commit it and get on with testing.
