Subject: Stamp HEAD as 10devel.

This is a good bit more complicated than the average new-version stamping
commit, because it includes various adjustments in pursuit of changing
from three-part to two-part version numbers.  It's likely some further
work will be needed around that change; but this is enough to get through
the regression tests, at least in Unix builds.

+   Current <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> version numbers consist of a
+   major and a minor version number.  For example, in the version number 10.1,
+   the 10 is the major version number and the 1 is the minor version number,
+   meaning this would be the first minor release of the major release 10.  For
+   releases before <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> version 10.0, version
+   numbers consist of three numbers, for example, 9.5.3.  In those cases, the
+   major version consists of the first two digit groups of the version number,
+   e.g., 9.5, and the minor version is the third number, e.g., 3, meaning this
+   would be the third minor release of the major release 9.5.
