PostGIS normalize_geometry 1.2.0

Finally normalize_geometry is compatible with PostgreSQL 10, it was about time!

What’s new in Version 1.2.0

I got rid of those SRF (set-returning functions) appearing in a query SELECT list (both ST_Dump() and ST_DumpRings() are used to decompose polygons and multipolygons).
It’s been a little trickier than expected because of PL/pgSQL plan caching policy, which caused me some major headaches and finally led to a dynamic query execution as the only viable solution.
Don’t worry, performances are even better than before thanks to some conditional LEFT JOIN LATERAL. That plan caching wasn’t necessary at all.
