This patch adds some missing functions for float8 math operations,
specifically ceil(), floor(), and sign(). There may be other functions
that need to be added, but this is a start. I've included some simple
regression tests.

Unless anyone sees a problem, please add this to the 7.4 queue.

Cheers,

Neil

Since it appears that we're requiring an initdb for beta3 anyway,
would this be appropriate for 7.3 instead?

IMHO, yes -- feature regressions are not desirable, particularly ones
that could bite people while upgrading. And the fix is not very
complex...

Cheers,

Neil

Yes, it is a fix so I will move it to the main patches queue.
