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.

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.

036c40886c Simplify cluster setup
Setting up single node is now:

```
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS iobeamdb CASCADE;
select setup_single_node();
```

To setup a cluster do (on meta node):
```
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS iobeamdb CASCADE;
select set_meta();
```

on data node:
```
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS iobeamdb CASCADE;
select join_cluster('metadb', 'metahost');
```

This assumes that the commands are issued by the same user on both the
meta node and the data node. Otherwise the data node also has to
specify the user name to use when connecting to the meta node.
