Fix incorrect handling of subquery pullup in the presence of grouping sets.
If we flatten a subquery whose target list contains constants or
expressions, when those output columns are used in GROUPING SET columns,
the planner was capable of doing the wrong thing by merging a pulled-up
expression into the surrounding expression during const-simplification.
Then the late processing that attempts to match subexpressions to grouping
sets would fail to match those subexpressions to grouping sets, with the
effect that they'd not go to null when expected.
To fix, wrap such subquery outputs in PlaceHolderVars, ensuring that
they preserve their separate identity throughout the planner's expression
processing. This is a bit of a band-aid, because the wrapper defeats
const-simplification even in places where it would be safe to allow.
But a nicer fix would likely be too invasive to back-patch, and the
consequences of the missed optimizations probably aren't large in most
cases.

Expression evaluation based aggregate transition invocation.
Previously aggregate transition and combination functions were invoked
by special case code in nodeAgg.c, evaluating input and filters
separately using the expression evaluation machinery. That turns out
to not be great for performance for several reasons:
- repeated expression evaluations have some cost
- the transition functions invocations are poorly predicted, as
commonly there are multiple aggregates in a query, resulting in the
same call-stack invoking different functions.
- filter and input computation had to be done separately
- the special case code made it hard to implement JITing of the whole
transition function invocation
Address this by building one large expression that computes input,
evaluates filters, and invokes transition functions.
This leads to moderate speedups in queries bottlenecked by aggregate
computations, and enables large speedups for similar cases once JITing
is done.
There's potential for further improvement:
- It'd be nice if we could simplify the somewhat expensive
aggstate->all_pergroups lookups.
- right now there's still an advance_transition_function invocation in

think hard about what to do when estimated costs are exactly equal;
a case that's particularly likely to occur when comparing on startup
cost. In such a case the ordering of the child paths would be left

We can improve matters by applying the rule used elsewhere in the
planner: if total costs are equal, sort on startup cost, and
vice versa. When both cost estimates are exactly equal, rather
than letting qsort do something unpredictable, sort based on the
child paths' relids, which should typically result in sorting in
inheritance order. (The latter provision requires inventing a
qsort-style comparator for bitmapsets, but maybe we'll have use
for that for other reasons in future.)

Port* (for the backend).

Define LDAPS_PORT if it's missing and disable implicit LDAPS on Windows
Some versions of Windows don't define LDAPS_PORT.
Also, Windows' ldap_sslinit() is documented to use LDAPS even if you
said secure=0 when the port number happens to be 636 or 3269. Let's
avoid using the port number to imply that you want LDAPS, so that
connection strings have the same meaning on Windows and Unix.

Clean up tupdesc.c for recent changes.
TupleDescCopy needs to have the same effects as CreateTupleDescCopy in
that, since it doesn't copy constraints, it should clear the per-attribute

Since TupleDescCopy has already established the presumption that it

Make XactLockTableWait work for transactions that are not yet self-locked
XactLockTableWait assumed that its xid argument has already added itself
to the lock table. That assumption led to another assumption that if
locking the xid has succeeded but the xid is reported as still in
progress, then the input xid must have been a subtransaction.
These assumptions hold true for the original uses of this code in
locking related to on-disk tuples, but they break down in logical
replication slot snapshot building -- in particular, when a standby
snapshot logged contains an xid that's already in ProcArray but not yet
in the lock table. This leads to assertion failures that can be
reproduced all the way back to 9.4, when logical decoding was
introduced.
To fix, change SubTransGetParent to SubTransGetTopmostTransaction which
has a slightly different API: it returns the argument Xid if there is no
parent, and it goes all the way to the top instead of moving up the
levels one by one. Also, to avoid busy-waiting, add a 1ms sleep to give
the other process time to register itself in the lock table.
For consistency, change ConditionalXactLockTableWait the same way.

Simplify representation of aggregate transition values a bit.
Previously aggregate transition values for hash and other forms of
aggregation (i.e. sort and no group by) were represented
differently. Hash based aggregation used a grouping set indexed array
pointing to an array of transition values, whereas other forms of
aggregation used one flattened array with the index being computed out
of grouping set and transition offsets.
That made upcoming changes hard, so represent both as grouping set
indexed array of per-group data.
As a nice side-effect this also makes aggregation slightly faster,
because computing offsets with `transno + (setno * numTrans)` turns
out not to be that cheap (too big for x86 lea for example).

that bool as currently defined can have arbitrary bit patterns for true

Improve regression tests' code coverage for plpgsql control structures.

exec_stmt_block and most of the loop control statements had very poor
coverage of handling of return/exit/continue result codes from their
child statements; and exec_stmt_fori was seriously lacking in feature
coverage, having no test that exercised its BY or REVERSE features,
nor verification that its overflow defenses work.
Now that we have some infrastructure for plpgsql-specific test scripts,
the natural thing to do is make a new script rather than further extend
plpgsql.sql. So I created a new script plpgsql_control.sql with the
charter to test plpgsql control structures, and moved a few existing
tests there because they fell entirely under that charter. I then
added new test cases that exercise the bits of code complained of above.
Of the five kinds of loop statements, only exec_stmt_while's result code
handling is fully exercised by these tests. That would be a deficiency
as things stand, but a follow-on commit will merge the loop statements'
result code handling into one implementation. So testing each usage of
that implementation separately seems redundant.
In passing, also add a couple test cases to plpgsql.sql to more fully

that area was sufficiently covered already, but the coverage report
