Make cpluspluscheck more portable.
Teach it to scrape -I and -D switches from CPPFLAGS in Makefile.global.
This is useful for testing on, eg, FreeBSD, where you won't get far
without "-I/usr/local/include".
Also, expand the set of blacklisted-for-unportability atomics headers,
based on noting that arch-x86.h fails to compile on an ARM box. The
other ones I'd omitted seem to compile all right on architectures they
don't belong to, but that's surely too shaky to rely on. Let's do
like we did for the src/include/port/ headers, and ignore all except
the variant that's pulled in by the arch-independent header.
There was lots not to like about the way we dealt with this before:
1. Instead of taking care of the conflict centrally in plperl.h, we
expected every one of its ever-growing number of includers to do so.
This is duplicative and error-prone in itself, plus it means that
plperl.h fails to meet the expectation of being compilable standalone,
resulting in macro-redefinition warnings in cpluspluscheck.
2. We left _() with its Perl definition, meaning that if someone tried
to use it in any Perl-related extension, it would silently fail to
provide run-time translation. I don't see any live bugs of this ilk,
but it's clearly a hard-to-notice bug waiting to happen.
So fix that by centralizing the cleanup logic, making it match what
we're already doing for other macro conflicts with Perl. Since we only
expect plperl.h to be included by extensions not core code, we should
redefine _() as dgettext() not gettext().

I'm not excited about back-patching this.
This shouldn't have been committed without even running the tests (nor
were the tests added that were suggested). I'm fixing up the results
to get the buildfarm back to green, it's quite possible we'll want to
revert this later.

Make VACUUM accept 1 and 0 as a boolean value.
Commit 41b54ba78e allowed existing VACUUM options to take a boolean
argument. It's documented that valid boolean values that VACUUM can
accept are true, false, on, off, 1, and 0. But previously the parser
failed to accept 1 and 0 as a boolean value in VACUUM syntax because
of a lack of NumericOnly clause for vac_analyze_option_arg in gram.y.
This commit adds such NumericOnly clause so that VACUUM options
can take also 1 and 0 as a boolean value.

Minimally fix partial aggregation for aggregates that don't have one argument.
For partial aggregation combine steps,
AggStatePerTrans->numTransInputs was set to the transition function's
number of inputs, rather than the combine function's number of
inputs (always 1).
That lead to partial aggregates with strict combine functions to
wrongly check for NOT NULL input as required by strictness. When the
aggregate wasn't exactly passed one argument, the strictness check was
either omitted (in the 0 args case) or too many arguments were
checked. In the latter case we'd read beyond the end of
FunctionCallInfoData->args (only in master).
AggStatePerTrans->numTransInputs actually has been wrong since since
9.6, where partial aggregates were added. But it turns out to not be
an active problem in 9.6 and 10, because numTransInputs wasn't used at
all for combine functions: Before c253b722f6 there simply was no NULL
check for the input to strict trans functions, and after that the
check was simply hardcoded for the right offset in fcinfo, as it's
done by code specific to combine functions.
In bf6c614a2f2 (11) the strictness check was generalized, with common
code doing the strictness checks for both plain and combine transition
functions, based on numTransInputs. For combine functions this lead to
not emitting an expression step to check for strict input in the 0
arguments case, and in the > 1 arguments case, we'd check too many
arguments.Due to the fact that the relevant fcinfo->isnull[2..] was
always zero-initialized (more or less by accident, by being part of
the AggStatePerTrans struct, which is palloc0'ed), there was no
observable damage in the latter case before a9c35cf85ca1f, we just
checked too many array elements.
Due to the changes in a9c35cf85ca1f, > 1 argument bug became visible,
because these days fcinfo is a) dynamically allocated without being
zeroed b) exactly the length required for the number of specified
arguments (hardcoded to 2 in this case).
This commit only contains a fairly minimal fix, setting numTransInputs
to a hardcoded 1 when building a pertrans for a combine function. It
seems likely that we'll want to clean this up further (e.g. the
arguments build_pertrans_for_aggref() aren't particularly meaningful
for combine functions). But the wrap date for 12 beta1 is coming up
fast, so it seems good to have a minimal fix in place.
Backpatch to 11. While AggStatePerTrans->numTransInputs was set
wrongly before that, the value was not used for combine functions.

include a few more comments from heapam_visibility.c, so they're in an

Don't to predicate lock for analyze scans, refactor scan option passing.
Before this commit, when ANALYZE was run on a table and serializable
was used (either by virtue of an explicit BEGIN TRANSACTION ISOLATION
LEVEL SERIALIZABLE, or default_transaction_isolation being set to
serializable) a null pointer dereference lead to a crash.
The analyze scan doesn't need a snapshot (nor predicate locking), but
before this commit a scan only contained information about being a
bitmap or sample scan.
Refactor the option passing to the scan_begin callback to use a
bitmask instead. Alternatively we could have added a new boolean
parameter, but that seems harder to read. Even before this issue
various people (Heikki, Tom, Robert) suggested doing so.
These changes don't change the scan APIs outside of tableam. The flags
argument could be exposed, it's not necessary to fix this
problem. Also the wrapper table_beginscan* functions encapsulate most
of that complexity.
After these changes fixing the bug is trivial, just don't acquire
predicate lock for analyze style scans. That was already done for
bitmap heap scans. Add an assert that a snapshot is passed when
acquiring the predicate lock, so this kind of bug doesn't require
running with serializable.
Also add a comment about sample scans currently requiring predicate
locking the entire relation, that previously wasn't remarked upon.

In the pg_upgrade test suite, don't write to src/test/regress.
When this suite runs installcheck, redirect file creations from
src/test/regress to src/bin/pg_upgrade/tmp_check/regress. This closes a
race condition in "make -j check-world". If the pg_upgrade suite wrote
to a given src/test/regress/results file in parallel with the regular
src/test/regress invocation writing it, a test failed spuriously. Even
without parallelism, in "make -k check-world", the suite finishing
second overwrote the other's regression.diffs. This revealed test
"largeobject" assuming @abs_builddir@ is getcwd(), so fix that, too.
Buildfarm client REL_10, released forty-five days ago, supports saving
regression.diffs from its new location. When an older client reports a
pg_upgradeCheck failure, it will no longer include regression.diffs.
Back-patch to 9.5, where pg_upgrade moved to src/bin.

Improve logrotate test so that it meaningfully exercises syslogger.
Discussion of bug #15804 reveals that this test didn't really prove
that the syslogger child process ever launched successfully, much
less did anything. It was only checking that the expected log file
gets created, and that's done in the postmaster. Moreover, the
test assumed it could rename the log file, which is likely to fail
on Windows (cf. commit d611175e5).
Instead, use the default log file name pattern, which should result
in a new file name being chosen after 1 second, and verify that
rotation has occurred by checking for a new file name. Also add code
to test that messages actually do propagate through the syslogger.
In theory this version of the test should work on Windows, so
revert d611175e5.
While that's still a good idea in the abstract, we found out
that there are multiple crasher bugs in it on Windows builds,
making the logging_collector option unusable on Windows.
There's no time left to fix these issues before 12beta1,
so revert the patch to allow Windows beta testing to proceed.
We'll try again at some future date.

investigation by Michael Paquier.
