Use Size instead of int64 to track allocated memory
Commit 5dd7fc1519 added block-level memory accounting, but used int64 variable to

how we handle with repalloc() when downsizing the chunk. Previously we've ignored
these cases and just kept using the original chunk, but now we need to update the
accounting, and the code was doing this:
context->mem_allocated += blksize - oldblksize;
Both blksize and oldblksize are Size (so unsigned) which means the subtraction
underflows, producing a very high positive value. On 64-bit platforms (where Size
has the same size as mem_alllocated) this happens to work because the result wraps
to the right value, but on (some) 32-bit platforms this fails.

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.

Add transparent block-level memory accounting
Adds accounting of memory allocated in a memory context. Compared to
various ad hoc solutions, the main advantage is that the accounting is
transparent and does not require direct control over allocations (this
matters for use cases where the allocations happen in user code, like
for example aggregate states allocated in a transition functions).
To reduce overhead, the accounting happens at the block level (not for
individual chunks) and only the context immediately owning the block is
updated. When inquiring about amount of memory allocated in a context,
we have to recursively walk all children contexts.
This "lazy" accounting works well for cases with relatively small number
of contexts in the relevant subtree and/or with infrequent inquiries.

Fix SSL test for libpq connection parameter channel_binding
When compiling Postgres with OpenSSL 1.0.1 or older versions, SCRAM's
channel binding cannot be supported as X509_get_signature_nid() is
needed, which causes a regression test with channel_binding='require' to
fail as the server cannot publish SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS as SASL mechanism
over an SSL connection.
Fix the issue by using a method similar to c3d41cc, making the test
result conditional. The test passes if X509_get_signature_nid() is
present, and when missing we test for a connection failure. Testing a
connection failure is more useful than skipping the test as we should
fail the connection if channel binding is required by the client but the
server does not support it.

jit: Re-allow JIT compilation of execGrouping.c hashtable comparisons.
In the course of 5567d12ce03, 356687bd8 and 317ffdfeaac, I changed
BuildTupleHashTable[Ext]'s call to ExecBuildGroupingEqual to not pass
in the parent node, but NULL. Which in turn prevents the tuple
equality comparator from being JIT compiled. While that fixes
bug #15486, it is not actually necessary after all of the above commits,
as we don't re-build the comparator when using the new
BuildTupleHashTableExt() interface (as the content of the hashtable
are reset, but the TupleHashTable itself is not).
Therefore re-allow jit compilation for callers that use
BuildTupleHashTableExt with a separate context for "metadata" and
content.
As in the previous commit, there's ongoing work to make this easier to
test to prevent such regressions in the future, but that
infrastructure is not going to be backpatchable.
The performance impact of not JIT compiling hashtable equality
comparators can be substantial e.g. for aggregation queries that
aggregate a lot of input rows to few output rows (when there are a lot
of output groups, there will be fewer comparisons).

This commit implements jsonpath .datetime() method as it's specified in
SQL/JSON standard. There are no-argument and single-argument versions of
this method. No-argument version selects first of ISO datetime formats
matching input string. Single-argument version accepts template string as
its argument.
Additionally to .datetime() method itself this commit also implements
comparison ability of resulting date and time values. There is some difficulty
because exising jsonb_path_*() functions are immutable, while comparison of
timezoned and non-timezoned types involves current timezone. At first, current
timezone could be changes in session. Moreover, timezones themselves are not
immutable and could be updated. This is why we let existing immutable functions
throw errors on such non-immutable comparison. In the same time this commit
provides jsonb_path_*_tz() functions which are stable and support operations
involving timezones. As new functions are added to the system catalog,
catversion is bumped.
Support of .datetime() method was the only blocker prevents T832 from being
marked as supported. sql_features.txt is updated correspondingly.
