Assign constraint name when cloning FK definition for partitions
This is for example used when attaching a partition to a partitioned
table which includes foreign keys, and in this case the constraint name
has been missing in the data cloned. This could lead to hard crashes,
as when validating the foreign key constraint, the constraint name is
always expected. Particularly, when using log_min_messages >= DEBUG1, a
log message would be generated with this unassigned constraint name,
leading to an assertion failure on HEAD.
While on it, rename a variable in ATExecAttachPartition which was
declared twice with the same name.

Allow btree comparison functions to return INT_MIN.
Historically we forbade datatype-specific comparison functions from
returning INT_MIN, so that it would be safe to invert the sort order
just by negating the comparison result. However, this was never
really safe for comparison functions that directly return the result
of memcmp(), strcmp(), etc, as POSIX doesn't place any such restriction
on those library functions. Buildfarm results show that at least on
recent Linux on s390x, memcmp() actually does return INT_MIN sometimes,
causing sort failures.
The agreed-on answer is to remove this restriction and fix relevant
call sites to not make such an assumption; code such as "res = -res"
should be replaced by "INVERT_COMPARE_RESULT(res)". The same is needed
in a few places that just directly negated the result of memcmp or
strcmp.
To help find places having this problem, I've also added a compile option
to nbtcompare.c that causes some of the commonly used comparators to
return INT_MIN/INT_MAX instead of their usual -1/+1. It'd likely be
a good idea to have at least one buildfarm member running with
"-DSTRESS_SORT_INT_MIN". That's far from a complete test of course,
but it should help to prevent fresh introductions of such bugs.
This is a longstanding portability hazard, so back-patch to all supported

Although all known platforms define "long long" as 64 bits, it still feels
a bit shaky to be using "va_arg(args, int64)" to pull out an argument that
the caller thought was declared "long long". The reason it was coded like
this, way back in commit 3311c7669, was to work around the possibility that
the compiler had no type named "long long" --- and, at the time, that it
maybe didn't have 64-bit ints at all. Now that we're requiring compilers
to support C99, those concerns are moot. Let's make the code clearer and
more bulletproof by writing "long long" where we mean "long long".
This does introduce a hazard that we'd inefficiently use 128-bit arithmetic
to convert plain old integers. The way to tackle that would be to provide
two versions of fmtint(), one for "long long" and one for narrower types.

happen except after the standby is promoted.
Note that this problem applies only to WAL segments coming from the
local pg_wal the first time archive recovery is run. Segments part of a
self-contained base backup are the most common case where this could
happen, however even in this case normally the .done markers would be
most likely part of the backup. Segments recovered from an archive are

Fix assorted bugs in pg_get_partition_constraintdef().
It failed if passed a nonexistent relation OID, or one that was a non-heap
relation, because of blindly applying heap_open to a user-supplied OID.
This is not OK behavior for a SQL-exposed function; we have a project
policy that we should return NULL in such cases. Moreover, since
pg_get_partition_constraintdef ought now to work on indexes, restricting
it to heaps is flat wrong anyway.
The underlying function generate_partition_qual() wasn't on board with
indexes having partition quals either, nor for that matter with rels
having relispartition set but yet null relpartbound. (One wonders
whether the person who wrote the function comment blocks claiming that
these functions allow a missing relpartbound had ever tested it.)
Fix by testing relispartition before opening the rel, and by using
relation_open not heap_open. (If any other relkinds ever grow the
ability to have relispartition set, the code will work with them
automatically.) Also, don't reject null relpartbound in
generate_partition_qual.
Back-patch to v11, and all but the null-relpartbound change to v10.
(It's not really necessary to change generate_partition_qual at all

scan node types we'd actually return a valid tuple TID to the caller,
resulting in updating or deleting a tuple that shouldn't have been
considered current. To fix, forcibly clear the ScanTupleSlot in
ExecScanReScan.
Another issue here, which seems only latent at the moment but could
easily become a live bug in future, is that rewinding a cursor does
not necessarily lead to *immediately* applying ExecReScan to every
scan-level node in the plan tree. Upper-level nodes will think that
they can postpone that call if their child node is already marked
with chgParam flags. I don't see a way for that to happen today in
a plan tree that's simple enough for execCurrent.c's search_plan_tree
to understand, but that's one heck of a fragile assumption. So, add
some logic in search_plan_tree to detect chgParam flags being set on
nodes that it descended to/through, and assume that that means we
should consider lower scan nodes to be logically reset even if their
ReScan call hasn't actually happened yet.
Per bug #15395 from Matvey Arye. This has been broken for a long time,
so back-patch to all supported branches.
Replace CAS loop with single TAS in ProcArrayGroupClearXid()
Single pg_atomic_exchange_u32() is expected to be faster than loop of
pg_atomic_compare_exchange_u32(). Also, it would be consistent with
clog group update code.

Make GUC wal_sender_timeout user-settable
Being able to use a value that can be changed on a connection basis is
useful with clusters distributed geographically, and makes failure
detection more flexible. A note is added in the documentation about the
use of "options" in primary_conninfo, which can be hard to grasp for
newcomers with the need of two single quotes when listing a set of
parameters.

Get rid of explicit argument-count markings in tab-complete.c.
This replaces the "TailMatchesN" macros with just "TailMatches",
and likewise "HeadMatchesN" becomes "HeadMatches" and "MatchesN"
becomes "Matches". The various COMPLETE_WITH_LISTn macros are
reduced to COMPLETE_WITH, and the single-item COMPLETE_WITH_CONST
also gets folded into that. This eliminates a lot of minor
annoyance in writing tab-completion rules. Usefully, the compiled
code also gets a bit smaller (10% or so, on my machine).
The implementation depends on variadic macros, so we couldn't have
done this before we required C99.

Fix bogus tab-completion rule for CREATE PUBLICATION.
You can't use "FOR TABLE" as a single Matches argument, because readline
will consider that input to be two words not one. It's necessary to make
the pattern contain two arguments.
The case accidentally worked anyway because the words_after_create
test fired ... but only for the first such table name.

Improve tab completion for ANALYZE, EXPLAIN, and VACUUM.
Previously, we made no attempt to provide tab completion in these
statements' optional parenthesized options lists. This patch teaches
psql to do so.
To prevent the option completions from being offered after we've already
seen a complete parenthesized option list, it's necessary to improve
word_matches() so that it allows a wildcard '*' in the middle of an
alternative, not only at the end as formerly. That requires only a
little more code than before, and it allows us to test for "incomplete
parenthesized options" with a test like
else if (HeadMatches2("EXPLAIN", "(*") &&
!HeadMatches2("EXPLAIN", "(*)"))
In addition, add some logic to offer column names in the context of
"ANALYZE tablename ( ...", and likewise for VACUUM. This isn't real
complete; it won't offer column names again after a comma. But it's
better than before, and it doesn't take much code.

Rationalize Query_for_list_of_[relations] query names in tab-complete.c.
The previous convention was to use names based on the set of relkinds being
selected for, which was not at all helpful for maintenance, especially
since people had been quite inconsistent about whether to change the names
when they changed the relkinds being selected for. Instead, use names
based on the functionality we need the relation to have, following the
model established by Query_for_list_of_updatables.
While at it, sort the list of Query constants a bit better; it had the
distinct air of code-assembled-by-dartboard before.

Error out for clang on x86-32 without SSE2 support, no -fexcess-precision.
As clang currently doesn't support -fexcess-precision=standard,
compiling x86-32 code with SSE2 disabled, can lead to problems with
floating point overflow checks and the like.
This issue was noticed because clang, on at least some BSDs, defaults
to i386 compatibility, whereas it defaults to pentium4 on Linux. Our
forced usage of __builtin_isinf() lead to some overflow checks not
triggering when compiling for i386, e.g. when the result of the
calculation didn't overflow in 80bit registers, but did so in 64bit.
While we could just fall back to a non-builtin isinf, it seems likely
that the use of 80bit registers leads to other problems (which is why
we force the flag for GCC already). Therefore error out when
detecting clang in that situation.

Add missing pg_description strings for pg_type entries.
I noticed that all non-composite, non-array entries in pg_type.dat
had descr strings, except for "json" and the pseudo-types. The
lack for json seems certainly an oversight, and there's surely
little reason to not have entries for the pseudo-types either.
So add some.
"make reformat-dat-files" turned up some formatting issues in
pg_amop.dat, too, so fix those in passing.
No catversion bump since the backend doesn't care too much what is
in pg_description.
