New version of the patch, including fixes to all the feedback you
provided. Thanks!
I used a dummy entry in (0,1), which seems cleaner to me (the
index-creation stuff in bootstrap is apparently still needed to generate
sinval messages, so it's not as easy as returning early from the
function). Maybe we could include a step in initdb to get rid of it,
but it doesn't seem too much of an issue.
