Fix REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW to report activity to the stats collector.
The non-concurrent code path for REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW failed to
report its updates to the stats collector. This is bad since it means
auto-analyze doesn't know there's any work to be done. Adjust it to
report the refresh as a table truncate followed by insertion of an
appropriate number of rows.
Since a matview could contain more than INT_MAX rows, change the
signature of pgstat_count_heap_insert() to accept an int64 rowcount.
(The accumulator it's adding into is already int64, but existing
callers could not insert more than a small number of rows at once,
so the argument had been declared just "int n".)
This is surely a bug fix, but changing pgstat_count_heap_insert()'s API

Improve pg_dump regression tests and code coverage
These improvements bring the lines-of-code coverage of pg_dump.c up to
87.7% (at least using LCOV 1.12, 1.11 seems to differ slightly). Nearly
every function is covered, three of the four which aren't are only
called when talking to older PG instances.
There is more which can, and should, be done here to improve the
coverage but it's past time to see what the buildfarm thinks of this.
What has been added:
- Coverage for many more command-line options
- Use command_fails_like instead of command_exit_is
- Operator classes, operator families
- Text search configuration, templates, parsers, dictionaries
- FDWs, servers, foreign tables
- Materialized views
- Improved Publications / Subscriptions test (though this needs work,
see PG10 open items and tests marked with XXX in 002_pg_dump.pl)
- Unlogged tables
- Partitioned tables
- Additional ACL testing for various object types
There is room for improvement, specifically:
- Various type-based option (alignment, storage, etc)
- Composite type collation
- Extra Procedural language functions (inline, validator)
- Different function options (SRF, Transform, config, security definer,
cost, leakproof)
- OpClass options (default, storage, order by, recheck)
- OpFamily options (order by, recheck)
- Aggregate functions (combinefunc, serialfunc, deserialfunc, etc)
- Text Search parser 'headline'
- Text Search template 'init'
- FDW options (handler, validator, options)
- Server options (type, version, options)
- User mapping options
- Default ACLs for sequences, types
- Security labels
- View circular dependencies (last function that needs coverage)
- Toast table autovacuum options
- Replica identity options
- Independent indexes (plus marking them as clustered on)
- Deferrable / initially deferred constraints
- Independent domain constraints
There's bits of extension pg_dump'ing also not covered, but those will
need to go into test_pg_dump (such as having a filter for config
tables).
Last, but not least, this approximately halves the number of tests run
with 'ok()' by removing the ok()-based checking of if all runs are
covered by each test. Instead, 002_pg_dump.pl will just exit out in
such a case (with a message in the log file). In general, when adding
tests, cover all runs unless there is a very good reason not to (such as
adding a 'catch-all' case). With these changes, the resulting output
and number of "tests" run is actually reduced.

Someone complained almost ten years ago, but apparently I decided
not to pursue it at the time, and neither did anyone else, so it
slipped between the cracks. Now that someone else has complained,
fix in all supported branches.

Improve postmaster's logging of listen socket creation.
When one of the kernel calls in the socket()/bind()/listen() sequence
fails, include the specific address we're trying to bind to in the log
message. This greatly eases debugging of network misconfigurations.
Also, after successfully setting up a listen socket, report its address
in the log, to ease verification that the expected addresses were bound.
There was some debate about whether to print this message at LOG level or
only DEBUG1, but the majority of votes were for the former.

Reduce log verbosity of startup/shutdown for launcher subprocesses.
There's no really good reason why the autovacuum launcher and logical
replication launcher should announce themselves at startup and shutdown
by default. Users don't care that those processes exist, and it's
inconsistent that those background processes announce themselves while
others don't. So, reduce those messages from LOG to DEBUG1 level.
I was sorely tempted to reduce the "starting logical replication worker
for subscription ..." message to DEBUG1 as well, but forebore for now.
Those processes might possibly be of direct interest to users, at least
until logical replication is a lot better shaken out than it is today.

Revert "Use group updates when setting transaction status in clog."
This reverts commit ccce90b398673d55b0387b3de66639b1b30d451b. This
optimization is unsafe, at least, of rollbacks and rollbacks to
savepoints, but I'm concerned there may be other problematic cases as
well. Therefore, I've decided to revert this pending further
investigation.

Sanitize newlines in object names in "pg_restore -l" output.
Commits 89e0bac86 et al replaced newlines with spaces in object names
printed in SQL comments, but we neglected to consider that the same
names are also printed by "pg_restore -l", and a newline would render
the output unparseable by "pg_restore -L". Apply the same replacement
in "-l" output. Since "pg_restore -L" doesn't actually examine any
object names, only the dump ID field that starts each line, this is
enough to fix things for its purposes.
The previous fix was treated as a security issue, and we might have
done that here as well, except that the issue was reported publicly
to start with. Anyway it's hard to see how this could be exploited
for SQL injection; "pg_restore -L" doesn't do much with the file
except parse it for leading integers.
Per bug #14587 from Milos Urbanek. Back-patch to all supported versions.

Change the relkind for partitioned tables from 'P' to 'p'.
Seven of the eight other relkind codes are lower-case, so it wasn't
consistent for this one to be upper-case. Fix it while we still can.
Historical notes: the reason for the lone exception, i.e. sequences being
'S', is that 's' was once used for "special" relations. Also, at one time
the partitioned-tables patch used both 'P' and 'p', but that got changed,
leaving only a surprising choice behind.
This also fixes a couple little bits of technical debt, such as
type_sanity.sql not knowing that 'm' is a legal value for relkind.
