Allow index AMs to cache data across aminsert calls within a SQL command.
It's always been possible for index AMs to cache data across successive

This patch adds such a feature and teaches GIN, GIST, and BRIN to use it

In addition, this makes a really significant difference in runtime

The reason this has been hard up to now is that the aminsert function is
not passed any useful place to cache per-statement data. What I chose to

Avoid returning stale attribute bitmaps in RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap().
The problem with the original coding here is that we might receive (and
clear) a relcache invalidation signal for the target relation down inside
one of the index_open calls we're doing. Since the target is open, we
would not drop the relcache entry, just reset its rd_indexvalid and
rd_indexlist fields. But RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap() kept going, and
would eventually cache and return potentially-obsolete attribute bitmaps.
The case where this matters is where the inval signal was from a CREATE
INDEX CONCURRENTLY telling us about a new index on a formerly-unindexed
column. (In all other cases, the lock we hold on the target rel should
prevent any concurrent change in index state.) Even just returning the
stale attribute bitmap is not such a problem, because it shouldn't matter
during the transaction in which we receive the signal. What hurts is
caching the stale data, because it can survive into later transactions,
breaking CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY's expectation that later transactions
will not create new broken HOT chains. The upshot is that there's a window
for building corrupted indexes during CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY.
This patch fixes the problem by rechecking that the set of index OIDs
is still the same at the end of RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap() as it was
at the start. If not, we loop back and try again. That's a little
more than is strictly necessary to fix the bug --- in principle, we
could return the stale data but not cache it --- but it seems like a
bad idea on general principles for relcache to return data it knows
is stale.
There might be more hazards of the same ilk, or there might be a better
way to fix this one, but this patch definitely improves matters and seems
unlikely to make anything worse. So let's push it into today's releases

In pageinspect/hashfuncs.c, avoid crashes on alignment-picky machines.
On machines with MAXALIGN = 8, the payload of a bytea is not maxaligned,
since it will start 4 bytes into a palloc'd value. On alignment-picky
hardware, this will cause failures in accesses to 8-byte-wide values
within the page. We already encountered this problem when we introduced
GIN index inspection functions, and fixed it in commit 84ad68d64. Make
use of the same function for hash indexes.
A small difficulty is that up to now contrib/pageinspect has not shared
any functions at all across files. To support that, introduce a common
header file "pageinspect.h" for the module.
Also, move get_page_from_raw() out of ginfuncs.c, where it didn't
especially belong, and put it in rawpage.c which seems a more natural home.

Fix a bunch more portability bugs in commit 08bf6e529.
It seems like somebody used a dartboard while choosing integer widths
for the various values taken and returned by these functions ... and
then threw a fresh set of darts while writing the SQL declarations.
This patch brings the C code into line with what the SQL declarations
say, which is enough to make it not dump core on the particular 32-bit
machine I'm testing on. But I think we could do with another round
of looking at what the datum widths *should* be. For instance, it's
not all that sensible that hash_bitmap_info decided to use int64 to
represent a BlockNumber input when get_raw_page doesn't do it that way.
There's also a remaining problem that the expected outputs from the
test script are platform-dependent, but I'll leave that issue for
somebody else.

pageinspect: Try to fix some bugs in previous commit.
Commit 08bf6e529587e1e9075d013d859af2649c32a511 seems not to have
used the correct *GetDatum and PG_GETARG_* macros for the SQL types
in some cases, and some of the SQL types seem to have been poorly
chosen, too. Try to fix it. I'm not sure if this is the reason
why the buildfarm is currently unhappy with this code, but it
seems like a good place to start.

Clean up psql's behavior for a few more control variables.
Modify FETCH_COUNT to always have a defined value, like other control
variables, mainly so it will always appear in "\set" output.
Add hooks to force HISTSIZE to be defined and require it to have an
integer value. (I don't see any point in allowing it to be set to
non-integral values.)
Add hooks to force IGNOREEOF to be defined and require it to have an
integer value. Unlike the other cases, here we're trying to be
bug-compatible with a rather bogus externally-defined behavior, so I think
we need to continue to allow "\set IGNOREEOF whatever". Fix it so that
the substitution hook silently replace non-numeric values with "10",
so that the stored value always reflects what we're really doing.
Add a dummy assign hook for HISTFILE, just so it's always in
variables.c's list. We can't require it to be defined always, because
that would break the interaction with the PSQL_HISTORY environment
variable, so there isn't any change in visible behavior here.
Remove tab-complete.c's private list of known variable names, since that's
really a maintenance nuisance. Given the preceding changes, there are no
control variables it won't show anyway. This does mean that if for some
reason you've unset one of the status variables (DBNAME, HOST, etc), that
variable would not appear in tab completion for \set. But I think that's
fine, for at least two reasons: we shouldn't be encouraging people to use
those variables as regular variables, and if someone does do so anyway,
why shouldn't it act just like a regular variable?
Remove ugly and no-longer-used-anywhere GetVariableNum(). In general,
future additions of integer-valued control variables should follow the
paradigm of adding an assign hook using ParseVariableNum(), so there's
no reason to expect we'd need this again later.

Avoid improbable null pointer dereference in pgpassfileWarning().
Coverity complained that we might pass a null pointer to strcmp()
if PQresultErrorField were to return NULL. That shouldn't be possible,
since the server is supposed to always provide some SQLSTATE or other
in an error message. But we usually defend against such hazards, and
it only takes a little more code to do so here.
There's no good reason to think this is a live bug, so no back-patch.

Fix placement of initPlans when forcibly materializing a subplan.
If we forcibly place a Material node atop a finished subplan, we need
to move any initPlans attached to the subplan up to the Material node,
in order to keep SS_finalize_plan() happy. I'd figured this out in
commit 7b67a0a49 for the case of materializing a cursor plan, but out of
an abundance of caution, I put the initPlan movement hack at the call
site for that case, rather than inside materialize_finished_plan().
That was the wrong thing, because it turns out to also be necessary for
the only other caller of materialize_finished_plan(), ie subselect.c.
We lacked any test cases that exposed the mistake, but bug#14524 from
Wei Congrui shows that it's possible to get an initPlan reference into
the top tlist in that case too, and then SS_finalize_plan() complains.
Hence, move the hack into materialize_finished_plan().
In HEAD, also relocate some recently-added tests in subselect.sql, which
I'd unthinkingly dropped into the middle of a sequence of related tests.

Fix mishandling of tSRFs at different nesting levels.
Given a targetlist like "srf(x), f(srf(x))", split_pathtarget_at_srfs()
decided that it needed two levels of ProjectSet nodes, failing to notice
that the two SRF calls are textually equal(). Because of that, setrefs.c
would convert the upper ProjectSet's tlist to "Var1, f(Var1)" (where Var1
represents a reference to the srf(x) output of the lower ProjectSet).
This triggered an assertion in nodeProjectSet.c complaining that it found
no SRFs to evaluate, as reported by Erik Rijkers.
What we want in such a case is to evaluate srf(x) only once and use a plain
Result node to compute "Var1, f(Var1)"; that gives results similar to what
previous versions produced, whereas allowing srf(x) to be evaluated again
in an upper ProjectSet would square the number of rows emitted.
Furthermore, even if the SRF calls aren't textually identical, we want them
to be evaluated in lockstep, because that's what happened in the old
implementation. But split_pathtarget_at_srfs() got this completely wrong,
using two levels of ProjectSet for a case like "srf(x), f(srf(y))".
Hence, rewrite split_pathtarget_at_srfs() from the ground up so that it
groups SRFs according to the depth of nesting of SRFs in their arguments.
This is pretty much how we envisioned that working originally, but I blew
it when it came to implementation.
In passing, optimize the case of target == input_target, which I noticed
is not only possible but quite common.
