[HACKERS] Faster NUMERIC implementation

I've been amusing myself the last several evenings by working on a reimplementation of the NUMERIC datatype, along the lines of previous discussion (use base-1 digits instead of base-10 so that the number of iterations of the inner loops decreases by a factor of about 4). It's not ready to com

OK, I have a patch to fix this bug. The basic problem is that when a multi-query string is passed to the backend, it is treated as a single transaction _unless_ a transaction or GUC command appears in the string. When they appear, a transaction is forced, but the normal transaction state machine
