Since we are going to be going through substantial error message wording
changes anyway for 7.4, I'm planning to revert the build-time hack that
preserves the older bison spelling of the error message; we may as
well standardize on the bison 1.875 spelling. So contrib/seg needs its
hack undone, and both need their expected files updated. If you wanna
do that, fine, otherwise I'll get to it when I start doing the backend
error call updates.
