Remove need for shared library PostgreSQL functions

This repo contains code for three functions to be loaded into PostgreSQL as a shared library:

1. `maptile_for_point`, which is used only by the `/changes` API call. This API call is little-used and IMHO should be deprecated and removed. However, even now it's hardly on the hot path for most development activities.
2. `tile_for_point`, which is used only in migrations. At this point, it seems unlikely that anyone will be doing a migration on existing data which would call this function (most developers will be running migrations on an empty database, to set it up).
3. `xid_to_int4`, which is only used for replication using Osmosis and isn't used in the Rails code at all. Hopefully this will be replaced Real Soon Now, but until then it's a quite advanced feature that most developers won't need.

Therefore, this patch proposes to replace the above three shared library functions with SQL implementations of the first two. These are _much_ slower - by a factor of about 30x, however this makes no difference when they're run on a completely empty database. In return, we're able to drop a dependency on the PostgreSQL server development package, and clean a few lines out of the installation instructions.

It's still possible to make and install the shared library functions, and I've included instructions about how to do that - although it shouldn't be necessary for the vast majority of `openstreetmap-website` developers.

 ### PostgreSQL Functions
 

-We need to install special functions into the PostgreSQL databases, and these are provided by a library that needs compiling first.
+There are special database functions required by a (little-used) API call, the migrations and diff replication. The former two are provided as *either* pure SQL functions or a compiled shared library. It is recommended that you start with the pure SQL versions, as described below, and only install the compiled shared library if you are running a production server making a lot of `/changes` API calls or need the diff replication functionality.

 
 

-```
-cd db/functions
-make libpgosm.so
-cd ../..
-```
-
-Then we create the functions within each database. We're using `pwd` to substitute in the current working directory, since PostgreSQL needs the full path.
+If you aren't sure which you need, install the SQL version below.

 
 ```
