b3c0551eda Create real array comparison functions (that use the element datatype's
comparison functions), replacing the highly bogus bitwise array_eq.  Create
a btree index opclass for ANYARRAY --- it is now possible to create indexes
on array columns.
Arrange to cache the results of catalog lookups across multiple array
operations, instead of repeating the lookups on every call.
Add string_to_array and array_to_string functions.
Remove singleton_array, array_accum, array_assign, and array_subscript
functions, since these were for proof-of-concept and not intended to become
supported functions.
Minor adjustments to behavior in some corner cases with empty or
zero-dimensional arrays.

Joe Conway (with some editorializing by Tom Lane).

730840c9b6 First phase of work on array improvements. ARRAY[x,y,z] constructor
expressions, ARRAY(sub-SELECT) expressions, some array functions.
Polymorphic functions using ANYARRAY/ANYELEMENT argument and return
types.  Some regression tests in place, documentation is lacking.
Joe Conway, with some kibitzing from Tom Lane.
