pg_basebackup: Fix progress messages when writing to a file
The progress messages print out \r to keep overwriting the same line on

SQL procedures
This adds a new object type "procedure" that is similar to a function
but does not have a return type and is invoked by the new CALL statement
instead of SELECT or similar. This implementation is aligned with the
SQL standard and compatible with or similar to other SQL implementations.
This commit adds new commands CALL, CREATE/ALTER/DROP PROCEDURE, as well
as ALTER/DROP ROUTINE that can refer to either a function or a
procedure (or an aggregate function, as an extension to SQL). There is
also support for procedures in various utility commands such as COMMENT

procedures is available in all the languages supplied by the core
distribution.
While this commit is mainly syntax sugar around existing functionality,

Fix neqjoinsel's behavior for semi/anti join cases.
Previously, this function estimated the selectivity as 1 minus eqjoinsel()
for the negator equality operator, regardless of join type (I think there
was an expectation that eqjoinsel would handle the join type). But
actually this is completely wrong for semijoin cases: the fraction of the
LHS that has a non-matching row is not one minus the fraction of the LHS
that has a matching row. In reality a semijoin with <> will nearly always
succeed: it can only fail when the RHS is empty, or it contains a single
distinct value that is equal to the particular LHS value, or the LHS value
is null. The only one of those things we should have much confidence in
estimating is the fraction of LHS values that are null, so let's just take
the selectivity as 1 minus outer nullfrac.
Per coding convention, antijoin should be estimated the same as semijoin.

Fix creation of resjunk tlist entries for inherited mixed UPDATE/DELETE.
rewriteTargetListUD's processing is dependent on the relkind of the query's
target table. That was fine at the time it was made to act that way, even
for queries on inheritance trees, because all tables in an inheritance tree
would necessarily be plain tables. However, the 9.5 feature addition
allowing some members of an inheritance tree to be foreign tables broke the
assumption that rewriteTargetListUD's output tlist could be applied to all
child tables with nothing more than column-number mapping. This led to
visible failures if foreign child tables had row-level triggers, and would
also break in cases where child tables belonged to FDWs that used methods
other than CTID for row identification.
To fix, delay running rewriteTargetListUD until after the planner has
expanded inheritance, so that it is applied separately to the (already
mapped) tlist for each child table. We can conveniently call it from
preprocess_targetlist. Refactor associated code slightly to avoid the
need to heap_open the target relation multiple times during
preprocess_targetlist. (The APIs remain a bit ugly, particularly around
the point of which steps scribble on parse->targetList and which don't.
But avoiding such scribbling would require a change in FDW callback APIs,
which is more pain than it's worth.)

Repair failure with SubPlans in multi-row VALUES lists.
When nodeValuesscan.c was written, it was impossible to have a SubPlan in

logic that throws away a ValuesScan's per-row expression evaluation data
structures. This was broken by the introduction of LATERAL however; a
sub-SELECT containing a lateral reference produces a correlated SubPlan.
The cleanest fix for this would be to give up the optimization of
discarding the expression eval state. But that still seems pretty

the subexpressions from hooking into the ValuesScan node's subPlan
list, so let's do that and see how well it works. (If this breaks,

recognize that "SELECT DISTINCT unnest(foo) FROM ..." produces

grouping_planner() scaled up plan rowcount estimates by the estimated SRF
multiplier after performing grouping. That doesn't happen anymore, which

index-only scans, since the core code will now know that the stored
representation is the same as the original data (up to detoasting).
The only exciting part of this is that ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY lacks
a way to drop a support function that was declared as being part of
an opclass rather than being loose in the family. For the moment,
we'll hack our way to a solution with a manual update of the pg_depend
entry type, which is what distinguishes the two cases. Perhaps
someday it'll be worth providing a cleaner way to do that, but for
now it seems like a very niche problem.
Note that the underlying C functions remain, to support use of the shared
libraries with older versions of the modules' SQL declarations. Someday
we may be able to remove them, but not soon.

Tweak use of ExecContextForcesOids by Gather (Merge).

Improve to_date/to_number/to_timestamp behavior with multibyte characters.
The documentation says that these functions skip one input character
per literal (non-pattern) format character. Actually, though, they
skipped one input *byte* per literal *byte*, which could be hugely
confusing if either data or format contained multibyte characters.
To fix, adjust the FormatNode representation and parse_format() so
that multibyte format characters are stored as one FormatNode not
several, and adjust the data-skipping bits to advance by pg_mblen()
not necessarily one byte. There's no user-visible behavior change
on the to_char() side, although the internal representation changes.
Commit e87d4965b had already fixed most places where we skip characters
on the basis of non-literal format patterns to advance by characters
not bytes, but this gets one more place, the SKIP_THth macro. I think
everything in formatting.c gets that right now.
It'd be nice to have some regression test cases covering this behavior;
but of course there's no way to do so in an encoding-agnostic way, and
many of the interesting aspects would also require unportable locale
selections. So I've not bothered here.

Fix quoted-substring handling in format parsing for to_char/to_number/etc.
This code evidently intended to treat backslash as an escape character
within double-quoted substrings, but it was sufficiently confused that
cases like ..."foo\\"... did not work right: the second backslash
managed to quote the double-quote after it, despite being quoted itself.
Rewrite to get that right, while preserving the existing behavior
outside double-quoted substrings, which is that backslash isn't special
except in the combination \".
Comparing to Oracle, it seems that their version of to_char() for
timestamps allows literal alphanumerics only within double quotes, while
non-alphanumerics are allowed outside quotes; backslashes aren't special
anywhere; there is no way at all to emit a literal double quote.
(Bizarrely, their to_char() for numbers is different; it doesn't allow
literal text at all AFAICT.) The fact that they don't treat backslash
as special justifies our existing behavior for backslash outside double
quotes. I considered making backslash inside double quotes act the same
way (ie, special only if before "), which in a green field would be a
more consistent behavior. But that would likely break more existing SQL
code than what this patch does.
Add some test cases illustrating this behavior. (Only the last new
case actually changes behavior in this commit.)

Prevent to_number() from losing data when template doesn't match exactly.
Non-data template patterns would consume characters whether or not those
characters were what the pattern expected, for example
SELECT TO_NUMBER('1234', '9,999');
produced 134 because the '2' got eaten by the comma pattern. This seems
undesirable, not least because it doesn't happen in Oracle. For the ','
and 'G' template patterns, we can fix this by consuming characters only
if they match what the pattern would output. For non-data patterns such
as 'L' and 'TH', it seems impractical to tighten things up to the point of
consuming only exact matches to what the pattern would output; but we can
improve matters quite a lot by redefining the behavior as "consume only
characters that aren't digits, signs, decimal point, or comma".
Also, fix it so that the behavior is to consume the number of *characters*
the pattern would output, not the number of *bytes*. The old coding would
do surprising things with non-ASCII currency symbols, for example. (It
would be good to apply that rule for literal text as well, but this commit
only fixes it for non-data patterns.)

Make PL/Python handle domain-type conversions correctly.
Fix PL/Python so that it can handle domains over composite, and so that
it enforces domain constraints correctly in other cases that were not
always done properly before. Notably, it didn't do arrays of domains
right (oversight in commit c12d570fa), and it failed to enforce domain
constraints when returning a composite type containing a domain field,
and if a transform function is being used for a domain's base type then
it failed to enforce domain constraints on the result. Also, in many
places it missed checking domain constraints on null values, because
the plpy_typeio code simply wasn't called for Py_None.
Rather than try to band-aid these problems, I made a significant
refactoring of the plpy_typeio logic. The existing design of recursing
for array and composite members is extended to also treat domains as
containers requiring recursion, and the APIs for the module are cleaned
up and simplified.
The patch also modifies plpy_typeio to rely on the typcache more than
it did before (which was pretty much not at all). This reduces the
need for repetitive lookups, and lets us get rid of an ad-hoc scheme
for detecting changes in composite types. I added a couple of small
features to typcache to help with that.

Pass InitPlan values to workers via Gather (Merge).
If a PARAM_EXEC parameter is used below a Gather (Merge) but the InitPlan
that computes it is attached to or above the Gather (Merge), force the
value to be computed before starting parallelism and pass it down to all
workers. This allows us to use parallelism in cases where it previously
would have had to be rejected as unsafe. We do - in this case - lose the
optimization that the value is only computed if it's actually used. An
alternative strategy would be to have the first worker that needs the value
compute it, but one downside of that approach is that we'd then need to
select a parallel-safe path to compute the parameter value; it couldn't for
example contain a Gather (Merge) node. At some point in the future, we
might want to consider both approaches.
Independent of that consideration, there is a great deal more work that
could be done to make more kinds of PARAM_EXEC parameters parallel-safe.
This infrastructure could be used to allow a Gather (Merge) on the inner
side of a nested loop (although that's not a very appealing plan) and
cases where the InitPlan is attached below the Gather (Merge) could be
addressed as well using various techniques. But this is a good start.
