Release notes for 10.1, 9.6.6, 9.5.10, 9.4.15, 9.3.20, 9.2.24.

In the v10 branch, also back-patch the effects of 1ff01b390 and c29c57890
on these files, to reduce future maintenance issues.  (I'd do it further
back, except that the 9.X branches differ anyway due to xlog-to-wal
link tag renaming.)

+
+     <para>
+      Lack of these dependencies could allow a column or data
+      type <command>DROP</command> to go through when it ought to fail,
+      thereby causing later uses of the view or rule to get errors.
+      This patch does not do anything to protect existing views/rules,
+      only ones created in the future.

+      Correctly detect hashability of range data types (Tom Lane)
+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+      The planner mistakenly assumed that any range type could be hashed
+      for use in hash joins or hash aggregation, but actually it must check
+      whether the range's subtype has hash support.  This does not affect any
+      of the built-in range types, since they're all hashable anyway.

+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+      In v10, failure to find the home directory while trying to
+      read <filename>~/.pgpass</filename> was treated as a hard error,
+      but it should just cause that file to not be found.  Both v10 and
+      previous release branches made the same mistake when
+      reading <filename>~/.pg_service.conf</filename>, though this was less
+      obvious since that file is not sought unless a service name is
+      specified.

+      Sync our copy of the timezone library with IANA release tzcode2017c

+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+      This fixes various issues; the only one likely to be user-visible
+      is that the default DST rules for a POSIX-style zone name, if
+      no <filename>posixrules</filename> file exists in the timezone data
+      directory, now match current US law rather than what it was a dozen
+      years ago.
