timestamp.c date.c

----------------------------- Log Message -----------------------------

Make OVERLAPS operators conform to SQL92 spec regarding NULL handling.
As I read it, the spec requires a non-null result in some cases where
one of the inputs is NULL: specifically, if the other endpoint of that
interval is between the endpoints of the other interval, then the result
is known TRUE despite the missing endpoint. The spec could've been a
lot simpler if they did not intend this behavior.
I did not force an initdb for this change, but if you don't do one you'll
still see the old strict-function behavior.
