I wanted two words to distinguish between user errors like a mis-spelled
field name, and internal errors like btree failure messages.

Make sense?

I made all the error messages coming from the parser as ERROR, and
non-parser messages as ABORT.  I think I will need to fine-tune the
messages because I am sure I missed some messages that should be ERROR
but are ABORT.  For example, utils/adt messages about improper data
formats, is that an ERROR or an ABORT?
