Fix misidentification of SQL statement type in plpgsql's exec_stmt_execsql.
To distinguish SQL statements that are INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE from other
ones, exec_stmt_execsql looked at the post-rewrite form of the statement
rather than the original. This is problematic because it did that only
during first execution of the statement (in a session), but the correct
answer could change later due to addition or removal of DO INSTEAD rules
during the session. That could lead to an Assert failure, as reported
by Tushar Ahuja and Robert Haas. In non-assert builds, there's a hazard
that we would fail to enforce STRICT behavior when we'd be expected to.
That would happen if an initially present DO INSTEAD, that replaced the
original statement with one of a different type, were removed; after that
the statement should act "normally", including strictness enforcement, but
it didn't. (The converse case of enforcing strictness when we shouldn't
doesn't seem to be a hazard, as addition of a DO INSTEAD that changes the
statement type would always lead to acting as though the statement returned
zero rows, so that the strictness error could not fire.)
To fix, inspect the original form of the statement not the post-rewrite
form, making it valid to assume the answer can't change intra-session.
This should lead to the same answer in every case except when there is a
DO INSTEAD that changes the statement type; we will now set mod_stmt=true
anyway, while we would not have done so before. That breaks the Assert
in the SPI_OK_REWRITTEN code path, which expected the latter behavior.
It might be all right to assert mod_stmt rather than !mod_stmt there,
but I'm not entirely convinced that that'd always hold, so just remove
the assertion altogether.

Detoast plpgsql variables if they might live across a transaction boundary.
Up to now, it's been safe for plpgsql to store TOAST pointers in its
variables because the ActiveSnapshot for whatever query called the plpgsql
function will surely protect such TOAST values from being vacuumed away,
even if the owning table rows are committed dead. With the introduction of
procedures, that assumption is no longer good in "non atomic" executions
of plpgsql code. We adopt the slightly brute-force solution of detoasting
all TOAST pointers at the time they are stored into variables, if we're in
a non-atomic context, just in case the owning row goes away.
Some care is needed to avoid long-term memory leaks, since plpgsql tends
to run with CurrentMemoryContext pointing to its call-lifespan context,

In plpgsql proper, we can do the detoasting work in the "eval_mcontext".

thing with named-composite-type inputs to record_eq(): it put in a
RelabelType to RECORDOID, which the parser doesn't. In some cases this was
harmless because all code paths involving a particular equivalence class
did the same thing, but in other cases this would result in failing to
recognize a composite-type expression as being a member of an equivalence
class that it actually is a member of. The most obvious bad effect was to
fail to recognize that an index on a composite column could provide the
sort order needed for a mergejoin on that column, as reported by Teodor
Sigaev. I think there might be other, subtler, cases that result in
misoptimization. It also seems possible that an unwanted RelabelType

Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2018e.
DST law changes in North Korea. Redefinition of "daylight savings" in
Ireland, as well as for some past years in Namibia and Czechoslovakia.
Additional historical corrections for Czechoslovakia.
With this change, the IANA database models Irish timekeeping as following
"standard time" in summer, and "daylight savings" in winter, so that the
daylight savings offset is one hour behind standard time not one hour
ahead. This does not change their UTC offset (+1:00 in summer, 0:00 in
winter) nor their timezone abbreviations (IST in summer, GMT in winter),
though now "IST" is more correctly read as "Irish Standard Time" not "Irish
Summer Time". However, the "is_dst" column in the pg_timezone_names view
will now be true in winter and false in summer for the Europe/Dublin zone.
Similar changes were made for Namibia between 1994 and 2017, and for
Czechoslovakia between 1946 and 1947.
So far as I can find, no Postgres internal logic cares about which way
tm_isdst is reported; in particular, since commit b2cbced9e we do not
rely on it to decide how to interpret ambiguous timestamps during DST
transitions. So I don't think this change will affect any Postgres
behavior other than the timezone-view outputs.
Commit 8b08f7d4820f failed to update these modules to at least give
non-broken error messages for partitioned indexes. Add appropriate
error support to them.
Peter G. was complaining about a problem of unfriendly error messages;
while we haven't fixed that yet, subsequent discussion let to discovery
of these unhandled cases.

pgstatindex: HASH -> hash
Fix the lone error message in the whole source tree to use capitalized
HASH when referring to hash indexes, making it look like all the other
messages.
Someday it would be good to standardize 'B-Tree', 'B-tree', 'btree', and
random other spellings, too, but that's a larger patch ...

Fix assorted partition pruning bugs
match_clause_to_partition_key failed to consider COERCION_PATH_ARRAYCOERCE
cases in scalar-op-array expressions, so it was possible to crash the
server easily. To handle this case properly (ie. prune partitions) we
would need to run a bit of executor code during planning. Maybe it can
be improved, but for now let's just not crash. Add a test case that
used to trigger the crash.

match_clause_to_partition_key failed to indicate that operators that
don't have a commutator in a btree opclass are unsupported. It is
possible for this to cause a crash later if such an operator is used in
a scalar-op-array expression. Add a test case that used to the crash.

One caller of gen_partprune_steps_internal in
match_clause_to_partition_key was too optimistic about the former never
returning an empty step list. Rid it of its innocence. (Having fixed
the bug above, I no longer know how to exploit this, so no test case for
it, but it remained a bug.) Revise code flow a little bit, for
succintness.

Restrict vertical tightness to parentheses in Perl code
The vertical tightness settings collapse vertical whitespace between
opening and closing brackets (parentheses, square brakets and braces).
This can make data structures in particular harder to read, and is not
very consistent with our style in non-Perl code. This patch restricts
that setting to parentheses only, and reformats all the perl code
accordingly. Not applying this to parentheses has some unfortunate
effects, so the consensus is to keep the setting for parentheses and not
for the others.
The diff for this patch does highlight some places where structures
should have trailing commas. They can be added manually, as there is no
automatic tool to do so.

Make gen_partprune_steps static
There's no need to export this function, so don't. Michaël didn't
actually write the patch, but we list him as first author because with a
trivial one like this, intellectual authorship is as important (if not
more) as bit shovelling.
