Open 6.4 items

Here are the open items. Thanks to Jan, the only 'hot' item left is the
ps args issue. People on non-BSD platforms will see all their backends
called 'postmaster', because argv[0] changes do not reflect in ps arg
displays.

I have asked that at least we get set_proctitle() working for Linux, but
no one wants to do it, and we can't remove the it because we would have
to add the exec() back into backend creation, which is impossible at
this point.

At this point, I am not even sure if Marc will allow a fix so late in
the game. Perhaps we can put it into a minor 6.4 release.

As long as you don't think we are going to get tons of complaints, I am
not worried about it.

Everything else is minor, so we are ready for 6.4 on November 1.
