Type OID search does not support search_path and multiple schemas

[Reposting it now via mail-list directly and not via Google Groups]

When searching for OID of a Type, current search_path is not considered and
if type with the same name exists in several schemas, not a valid OID is
fetched to be cached in TypeInfoCache class.

One of the possible solutions, would be to use select
'schema_name.type_name'::regtype::oid to get the OID. But as the lookup is
now done without using schema name this method is not easy to be used with
the current implementation of the TypeInfoCache...

My patch of the file org/postgresql/jdbc2/TypeInfoCache.java, that would
work for search_path's that contain schema names without " and , charachters
(and version lookup is not really done quite nicely as I am connecting now
only to 9.0 version of the DB... Anyway it is better, than a current
implementation:
