Thread: New postgres -O option for system tables

I have added a new postgres -O option to override restrictions, so
system tables can be directly manipulated.

I have also modified initdb, so it uses this new option, and removed the
hacks needed to change xpg_ to pg_.

Yea.  The old initdb would create xpg_, then do system table updates and
'mv' to make it a pg_ table.
