This feature has been a thorn in our sides for a long time, causing many grammatical ambiguity problems. It doesn't seem worth the pain to continue to support it, so remove it. There are some follow-on improvements we can make in the grammar, but this commit only removes the bare minimum number of productions, plus assorted backend support code. Note that pg_dump and psql continue to have full support, since they may be used against older servers. However, pg_dump warns about postfix operators. There is also a check in pg_upgrade. Documentation-wise, I (tgl) largely removed the "left unary" terminology in favor of saying "prefix operator", which is a more standard and IMO less confusing term. I included a catversion bump, although no initial catalog data changes here, to mark the boundary at which oprkind = 'r' stopped being valid in pg_operator.

PostgreSQL tests ================ This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin. Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see which tests get run automatically. authentication/ Tests for authentication examples/ Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via "make check" isolation/ Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level locale/ Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc mb/ Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support modules/ Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable for installing in production databases perl/ Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests recovery/ Test suite for recovery and replication regress/ PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress ssl/ Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling subscription/ Tests for logical replication thread/ A thread-safety-testing utility used by configure
