Fix up run-time partition pruning's use of relcache's partition data.
The previous coding saved pointers into the partitioned table's relcache
entry, but then closed the relcache entry, causing those pointers to
nominally become dangling. Actual trouble would be seen in the field
only if a relcache flush occurred mid-query, but that's hardly out of
the question.
While we could fix this by copying all the data in question at query
start, it seems better to just hold the relcache entry open for the
whole query.
While at it, improve the handling of support-function lookups: do that
once per query not once per pruning test. There's still something to be
desired here, in that we fail to exploit the possibility of caching data
across queries in the fn_extra fields of the relcache's FmgrInfo structs,
which could happen if we just used those structs in-place rather than
copying them. However, combining that with the possibility of per-query
lookups of cross-type comparison functions seems to require changes in the

Fix bugs in vacuum of shared rels, by keeping their relcache entries current.
When vacuum processes a relation it uses the corresponding relcache
entry's relfrozenxid / relminmxid as a cutoff for when to remove
tuples etc. Unfortunately for nailed relations (i.e. critical system
catalogs) bugs could frequently lead to the corresponding relcache
entry being stale.
This set of bugs could cause actual data corruption as vacuum would
potentially not remove the correct row versions, potentially reviving
them at a later point. After 699bf7d05c some corruptions in this vein
were prevented, but the additional error checks could also trigger
spuriously. Examples of such errors are:
ERROR: found xmin ... from before relfrozenxid ...
and
ERROR: found multixact ... from before relminmxid ...
To be caused by this bug the errors have to occur on system catalog
tables.
The two bugs are:
1) Invalidations for nailed relations were ignored, based on the
theory that the relcache entry for such tables doesn't
change. Which is largely true, except for fields like relfrozenxid
etc. This means that changes to relations vacuumed in other
sessions weren't picked up by already existing sessions. Luckily
autovacuum doesn't have particularly longrunning sessions.
2) For shared *and* nailed relations, the shared relcache init file
was never invalidated while running. That means that for such
tables (e.g. pg_authid, pg_database) it's not just already existing
sessions that are affected, but even new connections are as well.
That explains why the reports usually were about pg_authid et. al.
To fix 1), revalidate the rd_rel portion of a relcache entry when
invalid. This implies a bit of extra complexity to deal with
bootstrapping, but it's not too bad. The fix for 2) is simpler,
simply always remove both the shared and local init files.

Fix a couple of bugs with replication slot advancing feature
A review of the code has showed up a couple of issues fixed by this
commit:
- Physical slots have been using the confirmed LSN position as a start
comparison point which is always 0/0, instead use the restart LSN
position (logical slots need to use the confirmed LSN position, which
was correct).
- The actual slot update was incorrect for both physical and logical
slots. Physical slots need to use their restart_lsn as base comparison
point (confirmed_flush was used because of previous point), and logical
slots need to begin reading WAL from restart_lsn (confirmed_flush was
used as well), while confirmed_flush is compiled depending on the
decoding context and record read, and is the LSN position returned back
to the caller.
- Never return 0/0 if a slot cannot be advanced. This way, if a slot is
advanced while the activity is idle, then the same position is returned
to the caller over and over without raising an error. Instead return
the LSN the slot has been advanced to. With repetitive calls, the same
position is returned hence caller can directly monitor the difference in
progress in bytes by doing simply LSN difference calculations, which
should be monotonic.
Note that as the slot is owned by the backend advancing it, then the
read of those fields is fine lock-less, while updates need to happen
while the slot mutex is held, so fix that on the way as well. Other
locks for in-memory data of replication slots have been already fixed
previously.
Some of those issues have been pointed out by Petr and Simon during the
patch, while I noticed some of them after looking at the code. This
also visibly takes of a recently-discovered bug causing assertion
failures which can be triggered by a two-step slot forwarding which
first advanced the slot to a WAL page boundary and secondly advanced it
to the latest position, say 'FF/FFFFFFF' to make sure that the newest
LSN is used as forward point. It would have been nice to drop a test
for that, but the set of operators working on pg_lsn limits it, so this
is left for a future exercise.

Fix misidentification of SQL statement type in plpgsql's exec_stmt_execsql.
To distinguish SQL statements that are INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE from other

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

Now that the Working with git wiki page no longer suggests producing
context diffs, we should preserve the information on how to use
git-external-diff for those people who want to view context format
diffs. The most obvious place is in the script itself, so that's what's
done here.

Fix simple_prompt() to disable echo on Windows when stdin != terminal.
If echo = false, simple_prompt() is supposed to prevent echoing the
input (for password input). However, the Windows implementation applied
the mode change to STD_INPUT_HANDLE. That would not have the desired
effect if stdin isn't actually the terminal, for instance if the user
is piping something into psql. Fix it to apply the mode change to
the correct input file, so that passwords do not echo in such cases.
In passing, shorten and de-uglify this code by using #elif rather than
an #if nest and removing some duplicated code.
Back-patch to all supported versions. To simplify that, also back-patch
the portions of commit 9daec77e1 that got rid of an unnecessary
malloc/free in the same area.

Remove configure's check for nonstandard "long long" printf modifiers.
We used to claim to support platforms using 'q' or 'I64' as the printf
length modifier for long long int, by dint of replacing snprintf with
our own code which uses the C99 standard 'll' modifier. But that is
only adequate if we use INT64_MODIFIER only in snprintf-based calls,
not directly with the platform's native printf or fprintf. Which
hasn't been the case for years. We had not noticed, partially because
of inadequate test coverage, and partially because the buildfarm is
almost completely bare of machines that won't take 'll'. The last
one seems to have been frogmouth, which was adjusted recently so that
it will take 'll'. We might as well just give up on the pretense
that anything else works, and save ourselves some configure cycles.

Fix incorrect ordering of operations in pg_resetwal and pg_rewind.
Commit c37b3d08c dropped its added GetDataDirectoryCreatePerm call into
the wrong place in pg_resetwal.c, namely after the chdir to DataDir.
That broke invocations using a relative path, as reported by Tushar Ahuja.
We could have left it where it was and changed the argument to be ".",
but that'd result in a rather confusing error message in event of a
failure, so re-ordering seems like a better solution.
Similarly reorder operations in pg_rewind.c. The issue there is that
it doesn't seem like a good idea to do any actual operations before the
not-root check (on Unix) or the restricted token acquisition (on Windows).
I don't know that this is an actual bug, but I'm definitely not convinced
that it isn't, either.
Assorted other code review for c37b3d08c and da9b580d8: fix some
misspelled or otherwise badly worded comments, put the #include for
<sys/stat.h> where it actually belongs, etc.
Accept "B" in all memory-unit GUCs, and improve error messages.
Commit 6e7baa3227 added support for "B" unit, for specifying config options
in bytes. However, it was only accepted in GUC_UNIT_BYTE settings,
wal_segment_size and track_activity_query_size, and not e.g. in work_mem.
This patch makes it consistent, so that "B" accepted in all the same
contexts where "kB", "MB", and so forth are accepted.
Add "B" to the list of accepted units in the error hint, along with "kB",
"MB", etc.
Add an entry in the conversion table for "TB" to "B" conversion. A terabyte
is out of range for any GUC_UNIT_BYTE option, so you always get an "out of
range" error with that, but without it, you get a confusing error message
that claims that "TB" is not an accepted unit, with a hint that nevertheless
lists "TB" as an accepted unit.

Widen COPY FROM's current-line-number counter from 32 to 64 bits.
Because the code for the HEADER option skips a line when this counter
is zero, a very long COPY FROM WITH HEADER operation would drop a line
every 2^32 lines. A lesser but still unfortunate problem is that errors
would show a wrong input line number for errors occurring beyond the
2^31'st input line. While such large input streams seemed impractical
when this code was first written, they're not any more. Widening the
counter (and some associated variables) to uint64 should be enough to
prevent problems for the foreseeable future.
The README lists all the files available in the directory, along with short
descriptions of each, but a few newly added ones were missing. While we're
at it, reorder the list into alphabetical order.

Fix SQL:2008 FETCH FIRST syntax to allow parameters.
OFFSET <x> ROWS FETCH FIRST <y> ROWS ONLY syntax is supposed to accept
<simple value specification>, which includes parameters as well as
literals. When this syntax was added all those years ago, it was done
inconsistently, with <x> and <y> being different subsets of the
standard syntax.
Rectify that by making <x> and <y> accept the same thing, and allowing
either a (signed) numeric literal or a c_expr there, which allows for
parameters, variables, and parenthesized arbitrary expressions.
Per bug #15200 from Lukas Eder.
Backpatch all the way, since this has been broken from the start.

Doc: fix bogus cross-reference link.
An xref to a <para>'s ID isn't very helpful because paras don't have
names. This causes a warning while building PDFs, though for some
reason not while building HTML. The link arguably went to the wrong
place, too.
