Applied with revisions. The duplicate-argument detection logic in
FuncnameGetCandidates was pretty thoroughly broken, and there were some
internal API decisions I didn't like, as well as a few sins of omission
like not making ruleutils.c work. I did some work on the docs but there
may be a few other places that could stand to mention variadic
functions.

I didn't do anything about the extra pg_proc column, but will start to
work on that now.
