PostgreSQL 9.1 SPI

There have been a lot of requests to include various Postgres contrib
modules in the postgresql* ports:
  http://trac.macports.org/ticket/13952
  http://trac.macports.org/ticket/14880
  http://trac.macports.org/ticket/26472
  http://trac.macports.org/ticket/26577
  http://trac.macports.org/ticket/28091

I don't think we've heard anything from the maintainers in response to
those requests, and I'm not really familiar enough with the contrib
tree to know which modules we want to include.

It's possible, though, that we should break off some of thse from the
main port and install them as subports now that we've got the ability
to do so.

The spi contrib module seems like it'd be a weird choice for a port,
though, since I thought its value was mostly as an example for how to
use the SPI API, not something you'd use directly.
