cedcafc959 Remove setup_timescaledb() and fix pg_dump/pg_restore.
This PR removes the need to run setup_timescaledb. It also fixes
pg_dump and pg_restore. Previously, the database would restore in
a broken state because trigger functions were never attached to
meta tables (since setup_timescaledb() was not run). However, attaching
those triggers at extension creation also causes problems since the data
copy happens after extension creation but we don't want triggers fired
on the data restored (that could cause duplicate rows, for example).

The solution to this chicken-and-egg problem in this PR is to have
a special configuration (GUC) variable `timescaledb.restoring` that,
if 'on', would prevent the extension from attaching triggers at
extension creation. Then, after restoration, you'd call
restore_timescaledb() to attach the triggers and unset the GUC above.
This procedure is documented in the README as part of this PR.

c3f930f6c8 Add time_bucket functions
Adds functions to bucket timestamps. These functions are more
powerful versions of date_trunc, since they can take arbitrary
intervals.

cb90eef350 Rename setup_db() and fix port for local connections
If a user attempts to setup a database while not connecting using
the network, port is NULL and thus fails constraint checks. Instead,
we now use the default Postgres port of 5432 when this happens.

Also, setup_db() is renamed to setup_timescaledb() for clarity in
the presence of other extensions.
