Announcing Release 10 of the PostgreSQL Buildfarm client

Principal feature: support for non-standard repositories:

. support multi-element branch names, such as =E2=80=9Cdev/featurename=E2=
=80=9D or
=E2=80=9Cbug/ticket_number/branchname=E2=80=9D
. provide a get_branches() method in SCM module
. support regular expression branches of interest. This is matched
against the list of available branches
. prune branches when doing git fetch.

This feature and some server side changes will be explored in detail
in my presentation at pgCon in Ottawa next month. The feature doesn=E2=80=

affect owners of animals in our normal public Build Farm. However, the
items below are of use to them.

Other features/ behaviour changes:

. support for core Postgres changes:
  . extended support for USE_MODULE_DB
  . new extra_float_digits regime
  . removal of user table oid support
  . removal of abstime and friends
  . changed log file locations
. don=E2=80=99t search for valgrind messages unless valgrind is configured.
. make detection of when NO_TEMP_INSTALL is allowed more bulletproof

There are also various minor bug fixes and code improvements.
