Makes sense. Here's a new patch set. 0001 is the part intended for
back-patching, and 0002 is the rest (i.e., adding pg_attribute_nonnull()).
I switched to using __has_attribute to discover whether nonnull was
supported, as that seemed cleaner. I didn't see any need for a new
configure check, but maybe I am missing something.
