1. Add utility functions to plperl [PATCH]

   Tim Bunce <tim.bunce@pobox.com> — 2010-01-13T19:42:35Z

   This is the first of the patches to be split out from the former 'plperl
   feature patch 1'.
   
   Changes in this patch:
   
   - Added utility functions: quote_literal, quote_nullable, quote_ident,
       encode_bytea, decode_bytea, looks_like_number,
       encode_array_literal, encode_array_constructor.
   
   - Stored procedure subs are now given names ($name__$oid).
       This is invisible to PL/Perl stored procedures but makes
       tools like Devel::NYTProf and Devel::Cover _much_ more useful.
   
   - Warnings no longer have an extra newline in the NOTICE text.
   
   - Corresponding documentation changes in plperl.sgml, plus:
       Removed some trailing whitespace.
       Made some examples use more idiomatic perl.
       Added the missing ', arguments' to docs of spi_exec_prepared().
   
   - Assorted minor changes
       Various minor optimizations like pre-growing data structures.
       Makes proper use of the recently updated ppport.h.
   
   Tim.

   Applied with a little editing. I also added CVS markers where they were 
   missing.
