Fix crash caused by EPQ happening with a before update trigger present.
When ExecBRUpdateTriggers()'s GetTupleForTrigger() follows an EPQ
chain the former needs to run the result tuple through the junkfilter
again, and update the slot containing the new version of the tuple to
contain that new version. The input tuple may already be in the
junkfilter's output slot, which used to be OK - we don't need the
previous version anymore. Unfortunately ff11e7f4b9ae started to use
ExecCopySlot() to update newslot, and ExecCopySlot() doesn't support
copying a slot into itself, leading to a slot in a corrupt
state, which then can cause crashes or other symptoms.
Fix this by skipping the ExecCopySlot() when copying into itself.
While we could have easily made ExecCopySlot() handle that case, it
seems better to add an assert forbidding doing so instead. As the goal
of copying might be to make the contents of one slot independent from
another, it seems failure prone to handle doing so silently.
A follow-up commit will add tests for the obviously under-covered
combination of EPQ and triggers. Done as a separate commit as it might
make sense to backpatch them further than this bug.
Also remove confusion with confusing variable names for slots in

Avoid unnecessary out-of-memory errors during encoding conversion.
Encoding conversion uses the very simplistic rule that the output
can't be more than 4X longer than the input, and palloc's a buffer
of that size. This results in failure to convert any string longer
than 1/4 GB, which is becoming an annoying limitation.
As a band-aid to improve matters, allow the allocated output buffer
size to exceed 1GB. We still insist that the final result fit into
MaxAllocSize (1GB), though. Perhaps it'd be safe to relax that
restriction, but it'd require close analysis of all callers, which
is daunting (not least because external modules might call these
functions). For the moment, this should allow a 2X to 4X improvement
in the longest string we can convert, which is a useful gain in
return for quite a simple patch.
Also, once we have successfully converted a long string, repalloc
the output down to the actual string length, returning the excess
to the malloc pool. This seems worth doing since we can usually
expect to give back several MB if we take this path at all.
This still leaves much to be desired, most notably that the assumption
that MAX_CONVERSION_GROWTH == 4 is very fragile, and yet we have no
guard code verifying that the output buffer isn't overrun. Fixing
that would require significant changes in the encoding conversion
APIs, so it'll have to wait for some other day.

Straighten out leakproofness markings on text comparison functions.
Since we introduced the idea of leakproof functions, texteq and textne
were marked leakproof but their sibling text comparison functions were
not. This inconsistency seemed justified because texteq/textne just
relied on memcmp() and so could easily be seen to be leakproof, while
the other comparison functions are far more complex and indeed can
throw input-dependent errors.
However, that argument crashed and burned with the addition of
nondeterministic collations, because now texteq/textne may invoke
the exact same varstr_cmp() infrastructure as the rest. It makes no
sense whatever to give them different leakproofness markings.
After a certain amount of angst we've concluded that it's all right
to consider varstr_cmp() to be leakproof, mostly because the other
choice would be disastrous for performance of many queries where
leakproofness matters. The input-dependent errors should only be
reachable for corrupt input data, or so we hope anyway; certainly,
if they are reachable in practice, we've got problems with requirements
as basic as maintaining a btree index on a text column.

Fix bogus handling of XQuery regex option flags.
The SQL spec defers to XQuery to define what the option flags are
for LIKE_REGEX patterns. XQuery says that:
* 's' allows the dot character to match newlines, which by
default it will not;
* 'm' allows ^ and $ to match at newlines, not only at the
start/end of the whole string.
Thus, these are *not* inverses as they are for the similarly-named
POSIX options, and neither one corresponds to the POSIX 'n' option.
Fortunately, Spencer's library does expose these two behaviors as
separately twiddlable flags, so we just have to fix the mapping from
JSP flag bits to REG flag bits. I also chose to rename the symbol
for 's' to DOTALL, to make it clearer that it's not the inverse
of MLINE.
Also, XQuery says that if the 'q' flag "is used together with the m, s,
or x flag, that flag has no effect". I read this as saying that 'q'
overrides the other flags; whoever wrote our code seems to have read
it backwards.
Lastly, while XQuery's 'x' flag is related to what Spencer's code
does for REG_EXPANDED, it's not the same or a subset. It seems best
to treat XQuery's 'x' as unimplemented for now. Maybe later we can
expand our regex code to offer 'x'-style parsing as a separate option.
While at it, refactor the jsonpath code so that (a) there's only
one copy of the flag transformation logic not two, and (b) the
processing of flags is independent of the order in which the flags
are written.
We need some documentation updates to go with this, but I'll
tackle that separately.

Fix intermittent self-test failures caused by the stats_ext test.
Commit d7f8d26d9 added new tests to the stats_ext regression test that
included creating a view in the public schema, without realising that
the stats_ext test runs in the same parallel group as the rules test,
which makes doing that unsafe.
This led to intermittent failures of the rules test on the buildfarm,

logical decoding: process ASSIGNMENT during snapshot build
Most WAL records are ignored in early SnapBuild snapshot build phases.
But it's critical to process some of them, so that later messages have
the correct transaction state after the snapshot is completely built; in
particular, XLOG_XACT_ASSIGNMENT messages are critical in order for
sub-transactions to be correctly assigned to their parent transactions,
or at least one assert misbehaves, as reported by Ildar Musin.
Lack of parens in the definitions could cause a statement using these
macros to have unexpected semantics. In current code no bug is
apparent, but best to fix the definitions to avoid problems down the
line.

Fix usage of whole-row variables in WCO and RLS policy expressions.
Since WITH CHECK OPTION was introduced, ExecInitModifyTable has
initialized WCO expressions with the wrong plan node as parent -- that is,
it passed its input subplan not the ModifyTable node itself. Up to now
we thought this was harmless, but bug #16006 from Vinay Banakar shows it's
not: if the input node is a SubqueryScan then ExecInitWholeRowVar can get
confused into doing the wrong thing. (The fact that ExecInitWholeRowVar
contains such logic is certainly a horrid kluge that doesn't deserve to
live, but figuring out another way to do that is a task for some other day.)
Andres had already noticed the wrong-parent mistake and fixed it in commit 148e632c0, but not being aware of any user-visible consequences, he quite
reasonably didn't back-patch. This patch is simply a back-patch of 148e632c0, plus addition of a test case based on bug #16006. I also added
the test case to v12/HEAD, even though the bug is already fixed there.
Back-patch to all supported branches. 9.4 lacks RLS policies so the
new test case doesn't work there, but I'm pretty sure a test could be
devised based on using a whole-row Var in a plain WITH CHECK OPTION
condition. (I lack the cycles to do so myself, though.)

Don't drop NOTICE messages in isolation tests.
For its entire existence, isolationtester.c has forced client_min_messages
to WARNING, but that seems like a very poor choice of test design. It
should be up to individual test scripts to manage whether they emit notices
and to ensure that the results are stable. (There were no NOTICE messages
in the original set of isolation tests, so this was certainly dead code
when committed, but perhaps it was needed at some earlier point.)
It's possible that the original motivation was due to platform-dependent
variations in the timing of stdout vs. stderr output. That should be
moot since commits 73bcb76b7/6eda3e9c2, but just in case, adjust
isotesterNoticeProcessor to print to stdout not stderr. (stderr seems
like the wrong thing anyway: it should be for error printouts not expected
test output.)

Fix isolationtester race condition for notices sent before blocking.
If a test sends a notice just before blocking, it's possible on
slow machines for isolationtester to detect the blocked state before
it's consumed the notice. (For this to happen, the notice would have
to arrive after isolationtester has waited for data for 10ms, so on
fast/lightly-loaded machines it's hard to reproduce the failure.)
But, if we have seen the backend as blocked, it's certainly already
sent any notices it's going to send. Therefore, one more round of
PQconsumeInput and PQisBusy should be enough to collect and process
any such notices.

Reorder EPQ work, to fix rowmark related bugs and improve efficiency.
In ad0bda5d24ea I changed the EvalPlanQual machinery to store
substitution tuples in slot, instead of using plain HeapTuples. The
main motivation for that was that using HeapTuples will be inefficient
for future tableams. But it turns out that that conversion was buggy
for non-locking rowmarks - the wrong tuple descriptor was used to
create the slot.
As a secondary issue 5db6df0c0 changed ExecLockRows() to begin EPQ
earlier, to allow to fetch the locked rows directly into the EPQ
slots, instead of having to copy tuples around. Unfortunately, as Tom
complained, that forces some expensive initialization to happen
earlier.
As a third issue, the test coverage for EPQ was clearly insufficient.
Fixing the first issue is unfortunately not trivial: Non-locked row
marks were fetched at the start of EPQ, and we don't have the type
information for the rowmarks available at that point. While we could
change that, it's not easy. It might be worthwhile to change that at
some point, but to fix this bug, it seems better to delay fetching
non-locking rowmarks when they're actually needed, rather than
eagerly. They're referenced at most once, and in cases where EPQ
fails, might never be referenced. Fetching them when needed also
increases locality a bit.
To be able to fetch rowmarks during execution, rather than
initialization, we need to be able to access the active EPQState, as
that contains necessary data. To do so move EPQ related data from
EState to EPQState, and, only for EStates creates as part of EPQ,
reference the associated EPQState from EState.
To fix the second issue, change EPQ initialization to allow use of
EvalPlanQualSlot() to be used before EvalPlanQualBegin() (but
obviously still requiring EvalPlanQualInit() to have been done).
As these changes made struct EState harder to understand, e.g. by
adding multiple EStates, significantly reorder the members, and add a
lot more comments.
Also add a few more EPQ tests, including one that fails for the first
issue above. More is needed.
