* Allow foreign data wrappers to support writes (inserts/updates/deletes) on foreign tables
* Add a Postgres foreign data wrapper to allow access to other Postgres servers
* Add support for event triggers
* Add optional ability to checksum data pages and report corruption
* Prevent non-key-field row updates from blocking foreign key checks
