Please find attached diffs for documentation and simple regression

tests for the new interval->day changes. I added tests for
justify_hours() and justify_days() to interval.sql, as they take
interval input and produce interval output. If there's a more
appropriate place for them, please let me know.

+   When adding an <type>interval</type> value to (or subtracting an

+   time zone that recognizes DST), this means <literal>interval '1 day'</literal> 
+   does not necessarily equal <literal>interval '24 hours'</literal>.

+   <literal>timestamp with time zone '2005-04-02 12:00-07' + interval '1 day' </literal>
